The Great Gleek Cometh

It's only Saturday, but Monday's coming, and what a Monday it will be!  Anyone who's part of Broadway Knights Theater Academy- especially the Jedi Knights- will want to do their best to be in the GMS theater, Monday morning, to meet our mystery guest, The Great Gleek!  Jack?  It's time to get your Gleek on.

Who is this interloper who would invade our inner sanctum?  A person who thinks, "Glee is dumb in the traditional sense, because in the traditional sense, theater is, ya know, presentational and, um, and- wait, what have I said so far?- but seriously, though, Glee does what I love: it takes themes and ideas that you'd never think of putting together in a show, and then uses them in such a way that you get a plot line- granted it's ridiculous- it's the type of show I can watch it, and one minute be rolling with laughter, and the next, wanting to scream because the performances are so good, and the next minute, weeping because they take songs like "I Want to Hold Your Hand"- which is a sappy love song- and turns it into a touching song about a father and son; and it's creatve genius....just sayin'."

"Powerful you have become, Gleek, but the verbose side I sense in you," Yoda said, upon reading The Great Gleek's quote.  As he walked away to get his lightsaber for Monday's rehearsal, Yoda mumbled, "Happens to every person, sometimes, it does.  But who's this one's Jedi master?"
