As readers may recall, South Floridian Alex Weisman got cast in History Boys while attending Northwestern. The play got rave reviews, and Alex was well-recieved.
Then The Timeline Theatre Company extended the run.
His mother started hinting that "wouldn't it be funny if he got nominated for a Jeff?" She was told that "kids" hardly ever got nominated, that this was saved almost always for actors who'd been working for awhile.
Then Weisman got nominated for a Jeff Award. He cautioned his mother not to get too excited. Nominations are rare, but not unheard of. But a more established actor will probably win.
Guess what?
He won.
Congratulations, Alex. You've come a long way since The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.
Kudos!
