An Interview with Jake and Jared

By Erin Bejasa, 11.3 and Vivienne Weinberg, 11.1

We interviewed two members from the cast of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Jake Ryan Flynn and Jared Brad-shaw. Jake plays Charlie Bucket and Jared plays Willy Wonka. Jared is usually an oompa loompa and an under-study for Willy Wonka, Mr. Salt, and Grandpa Joe. The camp is so fortunate to see Jared Bradshaw play Willy Wonka tomorrow!

What other shows have you been in and what makes this show special or unique?

Jared: Well I was in Jersey Boys for a very long time, and it was a show that was not for kids and had a lot of adult situations. So this show is special because it is really for ev-erybody. Adults and kids go and they bring their parents. There are a lot of jokes for the parents, and obviously Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is for kids and the young at heart. So it’s really fun because it’s extremely silly and uplifting and surprising and I think that’s what I like. It’s really for kids and parents and families.

Jake: I would agree with all of that.What secret talents do you have that do not have to

do with acting?Jared: I can touch my tongue with my nose. (He meant

“I could touch my nose with my tongue”). I can say all fifty states in fifteen seconds. (Then, Jared just says all the states in alphabetical order super fast). That might have been seventeen seconds. I never get to do that!

Jake: I can do a split.Jared: You can do a split? You’re good at Legos.Jake: Yes, I love Legos, I really do.Jared: Yes he loves Legos. He does really hard ones, like

16+.Jake: I build Legos at home. That’s what I like to do

when I’m not doing the show.What is your favorite thing to do during a normal

show?Jared: Our star of the show with Jake is Christian Borle

who plays Willy Wonka when I’m not on for him. Most of the time, he has a candy bar during the show. He breaks off the corner and pretends to give it to Charlie to trick him. That leaves him with an entire candy bar that he brings backstage every night and gives to the ensemble, so I get to eat chocolate every night. My favorite part has to be when Willy Wonka himself brings us a chocolate bar because if he ate a whole chocolate bar every night by himself, he would be sick. So he just eats a corner of it then brings it back to us. It’s a delicious Lindt milk choco-late bar. That has to be my favorite part.

Jake: I have two favorite parts: When I get to eat candy and chocolate on stage I get to eat cotton candy and also eat the popcorn and watch the TV in the candy shop after each nigth I eat it all.

Jared: Yeah...my favorite part is eating.What got you into acting and when did you start? Jared: I started when I was about your age, around 9 or

10...at church actually, I did it in my community theater. When I was 11, I did The Music Man and danced in the en-semble in the library scene and I was just like, “I love this!” And I loved to see my parents and everyone clapping for me and immediately wanted to do another musical, so I did Oklahoma.

Jake: I started when I was 5 at community theater, at Neverland Theater. They just sang a bunch of songs from shows. Then I did Peter Pan, Billy Elliot, Christmas Carol, Shrek and others.

What is your favorite thing to do when you’re not acting?

Jared: Listening to Michael Jackson records I think. I have 1,458 records. Probably the largest in the world. I listened to it this morning. And going to Disney World. If I could work at Disney World, I worked at DIsney Cruise once...I just love anything and everything Disney.

Jake: Building Legos. If I could live anywhere in the world it would be in the Lego store.

What is your favorite part about acting?Jared: My favorite part about acting is getting to be

someone else. In real life I’m a dad, so my life is really repetitive. I go to the theater everyday. So the thing I like being about an actor is I get to be someone else every day. My job is crazy so I love getting to play all those characters because it makes my life difference. He’s funny, surprising, shocking and crazy and loving. I love that about being able to play Willy Wonka.

Jake: I love getting to play Charlie because he’s really sweet. I just relate to him and like getting to put parts of myself into the show.

Freedom for the Nametags: A Manifesto

By Tallulah Reiser, 11.6 and Anjali Marwell, 10.8

Yesterday—Monday, July 10th—Tallulah and Anjali were in sewing class for 3rd period when Tallulah noticed that her nametag kept falling off. We joked that it was trying to get free...when we realized that name tags actually DO want to be free. Name tags are important! This is why Tallulah and I have decided to organize a movement that gives name tags a proper home instead of being imprisoned on shirts and/or sweatshirts. Name tags deserve a chance to be free! We have many supporters and activists on our team who believe name tags deserve a chance for happiness. Please join the cause! Donate your name tag online or in Room 505 today!

The Home Run DerbyBy Tommy Nolan, 11.6

As you may know, the home run derby was last night. We saw home runs hit over 500 feet, a shocking first-round upset of Giancarlo Stanton, and of course, Aaron Judge taking home the trophy (because he wins at everything).

But before we get into all the stats and outcomes, let’s start off with the simple question: what is the home run derby?

Well, the derby is a competition held annually every year right before the Major League Baseball All-Star Game begins.

The rules vary from year to year, but this year, the format was like this:

3 minutes are given to each contestant to hit as many home runs as possible.

2 or more homers over 440 feet gives players a 30 second bonus time.

The next pitch cannot be thrown until the ball that was just hit lands.

In the first round, Miguel Sano of the twins beat Mike Moustakas of the Royals. Then, in a shocking upset, yankees catcher Gary Sanchez edged out the man with home-field advantage--Giancarlo Stanton.

Cody Bellinger beat Charlie Blackmon with a clutch home run in bonus time, and then Justin Bour hit an astounding 22 home runs. Unfortunately for Bour Aaron Judge, the best player in baseball, walloped 23.

Judge and Sano both won their semifinal rounds, which left the two of them to face off in the championship.

Unsurprisingly, Judge crushed Sano, leaving 2 whole minutes left on the clock, a testament to his home run hitting greatness. Judge took home the title with fans knowing that there will be many more titles to come for Judge, and that’s not just limited to the derby.
