In the Spring of 2000 I was in a play version of Cinderella directed by Rob Duval (no not ROBERT Duval, but this guy is pretty cool) assistant directed by his then high school student Zoe Kazan.
In the Fall of 2007 Zoe Kazan performed in the play "100 Saints you should know" written by Kate Fodor at Playwrights Horizons. She is now nominated for a 2008 Drama Desk and a 2008 Lucille Lortel award for outstanding featured actress. Which is amazing.
But this is where it gets weird.
The play "100 Saints you should know" was supposed to be a Mentor Project play at the Cherry Lane Theater, where I was interning during the Spring of 2007. I was slotted to work on the play, but Playwrights Horizons bought the rights out from under the Cherry Lane.
Weirder still...
The Stage Manager for "100 Saints" at Playwrights Horizons was also the Stage Manger for "Romeo & Juliet" in Central Park last year, which I did worked on as a literary researcher.
The theater world is so small.
I wish Zoe all the luck in the world.
