There was a lot of respect there and they were young and had a lot of great energy to them.

It seemed like they were on the road to big things.

So there was a lot of excitement to have these people directing us.

So that was the first time I met Cato and his partner.

Yes, that is absolutely true.

At that point, I think that it was a two-year-old daughter, like a toddler age, that they shared together.

And so they share a child together.

It was framed pretty early on in

whatever conversations I had with Kato, that they were not together, really.

They're not romantic and that they're just raising a child together.

I recall that he had charisma, very smart and seems like someone you should listen to.

I remember he had dark rimmed glasses that were really cool, kind of hipster glasses before hipsters became a thing.

He just seemed like a friendly, funny guy who commanded the space.

The musical that was chosen for that year was a musical called Chess.

That is probably not a super popular musical, but people do know it and it has great music.

like One Night in Bangkok.

That's my favorite song that's from that because it's like so inappropriate for high schools to be singing on the stage.

I had done some musicals, but really I was into music.

Like I was not a theater kid.

I was a music kid.
