What is it about Matt Rogers that causes the female actors in the Broadway Knights Theatre Academy to turn and run for the wings? He's got good looks, a Marlon Brando stage presence, and tan cargo shorts. What more could a girl want?
When Yoda asked Rebecca Wilson to understudy the role of Cheyenne in Market Street Blues, she was very excited . . . until she realized that she would have to perform the second scene of Act I . . . the dreaded first-kiss scene. Like many of her peers, Jedi Wilson tried to use her hair as a curtain: "If I can't see Matt, maybe he really isn't there!" But Jedi Rogers is a resourceful actor. He brushed her hair from her face, and planted a kiss on Rebecca's cheek.
"You're not going to put this on GMSTV, are you?" she asked Yoda, blushing. "On YouTube," he answered, smiling. Rebecca's sigh of relief at being spared the eyes of her five hundred school-mates is wonderfully ironic.
But that wasn't the sole irony. "The Jedis should know, when speak on the stage, they do, that hear them, I can," Yoda said. "Yes, Jedi Shinn, your favorite teacher, to her classroom, tomorrow, will return. For the love, thank you, I do!"
