Chapter 5 Cherry Lane Theater

Matt's rented apartment is small and well-equipped, and there is an extra single bed in the small living room, but it doesn't look too crowded.Vogt pulled over his left luggage (all purchased after arriving in New York) and simply settled in Matt's apartment.He hasn't fully recovered from the blow of a broken relationship, and a month of wandering has made his requirements for the living environment drop to a new low.

Matt had no complaints about the new tenant.First, he sympathized with Vogt's experience, and second, he was really too busy to pay attention to Vogt for the time being.

Matt is an off-Broadway performer.Although Off-Broadway was originally split to break the commercial monopoly of Broadway, since the development of the 60s to today, Off-Broadway's business model has been very similar to Broadway.In order to attract audiences, Broadway will hold free outdoor concerts such as "Broadway Star Show on the Trail" every spring during the off-season, and Off-Broadway is no exception.Matt's troupe held Reading and mini skits at the Cherry Lane Theater (CherryLaneTheater) to attract audiences.In addition, Matt has to rehearse new plays, so busy that he can't wait for 36 hours a day.

Vogt was also out every day.After working in the modeling industry for almost a year, he suddenly discovered a terrible thing—his thesis hadn't been written yet! QQ

Why does Vogt, who is only 17 years old, hand in his thesis, not counting his whole life?In fact, Vogt is a student of Oxford University in the UK. He has already obtained a double bachelor's degree in English, modern linguistics and Oriental studies. He is proficient in English, German, Chinese and French. He is currently studying for a master's degree in philosophy. .These results can only be said to be mediocre at Oxford University, which is known as the "cradle of geniuses and prime ministers".

Vogt doesn't think he's a genius, at best he just has a good language talent.This has something to do with his pedigree.His father is English-German, while his mother is Chinese-American.Vogt is a quarter of English, German, Chinese and American blood.This gave him a natural environment to learn English, German, and Chinese, and French by the way.But Vogt is special in that he can imitate his accent perfectly. For example, in front of his elegant and noble British grandmother, his aristocratic Oxford accent can always make the corners of her lips rise by one centimeter, while in his In front of the American grandfather who satirizes the British's affectations and poses, his bright and conceited New York Upper East Side accent can always make him laugh and praise him as "my bad boy".

Vogt's mentors thought he would make a good translator, but Vogt had no interest in repeating what other people said all the time.He struggled to get a degree only because of family pressure.Two bachelor's degrees and a master's degree can get him kicked out of the house by his father without guilt.

Now, apparently, his master's degree is in crisis.His advisor has sent an ultimatum that if he can't turn in his thesis within a month, or turn in a bunch of shit, he won't have to, and it will be postponed indefinitely!

If he didn't get a master's degree, his family would definitely have a reason to take him back!Vogt had to rush to the library every day, consulting materials until the moment the library closed.After a month of gloom, I finally handed in the thesis "shouldn't be shit" at the last minute, and my handsome and charming face reappeared like a homeless man, with raised eyelids, thick dark circles, and dense stubble... ...He didn't care about cleaning up, and immediately threw himself on the single bed and fell asleep unconsciously.

Matt finally had two days off after a busy day at the theater's free events.Then he discovered—

When he got up in the morning, Vogt was still asleep. He only woke up at lunch and dinner time, ate whole food like sleepwalking, and fell back to sleep again.Matt sleeps at night and he's still asleep... ==

Repeat the above findings the next day.

Matt thought that Vogt was devastated after being hit hard by the broken relationship, and he only cared about drunk life and dreaming every day-well, only dreaming and not drunk life, Matt felt so sad and still did not break the abstinence of drinking and buying drunk (the legal drinking age in the United States is 21 Vogt was a really good boy.

The kind and enthusiastic Matt felt that he couldn't go on like this: "Man, you need to go out for a walk, and you can't stay at home all the time!"

"Ah...huh?" Vogt was dragged up by Matt in a daze in the hypoglycemic dullness.

*********************************

Vogt suffers from hypoglycemia, and the first 15 minutes after waking up, his mind is always in a state of "letting anyone lead him where he wants to be", with one command and one action. After 15 minutes, he began to vent his anger about getting up.Anyone who is familiar with Vogt knows that in the first 10 minutes after Vogt wakes up, strangers should stay away.Of course, if you can appease him in another way, it is also very effective.However, at present, only Jasper Brown has a deep understanding of this method.Sadly, they broke up.So this secret is temporarily unknown.

The nervous Matt was lucky to direct Vogt to complete a series of grooming actions in the first 15 minutes, and then took Vogt out like a gust of wind, completely ignoring Vogt's stinky face.

In Matt's view, it was normal for Vogt to be in a bad mood, and it was not normal for the sun to shine.

why?

Lovelorn!

This is why even the police will sympathize.

Vogt was in the low pressure of getting up, but he still knew that even if Matt was bully, he couldn't be too bully. After all, he was the landlord who provided the room and board.Upper decision decided by the economic background.

"Where are you taking me?" → An angry Vogt.

"Cherry Lane Theatre!" → Merry Matt.

Cherry Lane Theater is a small theater with a long history and full of humanistic atmosphere, founded in 1924.It is located in a small street in the West Village. It is a small red brick building built in 1891. It is peaceful and heavy, isolated from the impetuous crowd.The theater is narrow and can only accommodate less than 200 auditoriums. The prints of the seats are even in the style of the 50s. Countless plays are staged on this stage. Gone with the wind.But for some, it remains their holy place.

When Matt and Vogt arrived, the theater was bustling with about 20 people who were preparing to rehearse a new play.Matt greeted everyone familiarly, and most of them gave him a smile back, and some even pulled him to say a few words. Obviously, Matt is very popular here.

Vogt's appearance is deceiving, and everyone wonders why Matt brought this charming guy here.

Matt honestly introduced Vogt as an underage child, emphasizing that he was recovering from a broken relationship. He was afraid that he would suffocate to death at home, so he pulled him out.

Vogt glared at Matt, the big mouth that exposed him!

"My God! He's only 17?"

"Matt, are you crazy?"

"You are more handsome than Brad Pitt!"

"Are all young men this handsome?"

"His girlfriend is so stupid to abandon him!"

"..."

As soon as they heard about underage and lovelorn, everyone's attitude towards Vogt relaxed immediately, they got to know him happily, and patted him on the shoulder sympathetically to express comfort.

The theater's executive director, Angelina Williams, a humorous, approachable middle-aged lady who just came to watch the rehearsal of the new play, snorted Vogt's messy brown hair (come out in a hurry or not? Pack it up), kindly say, "Take it easy honey, this is great news for other girls."

This sentence immediately aroused booing!

"Oh, Angelina, you're so partial! You never said that to me!"

"Hahaha……"

"Matt, you've brought on an amazing boy!"

Vogt scratched his head sheepishly.He couldn't make a bad face at friendly and witty ladies because they reminded him of his lovely mother.

"Nice to meet you, ma'am." Vogt took Angelina's hand and kissed the back of her hand gracefully.

This unexpected and very gentlemanly etiquette made Angelina blush.She covered her heart and chanted exaggeratedly: "Oh, young man, you are so sweet, but unfortunately I already have a husband..." Although she is not an actress, she loves her theater deeply and has a lot of drama skills.

The theater was suddenly filled with laughter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, am I the only one who remembers the need to hurry up and rehearse the new play?" A voice full of patience and dissatisfaction said loudly.

It was a man about 35 years old, with dark brown hair and black eyes, and a square face.His hair was combed back meticulously, he was smeared with thick pomade, and he was wearing a half-worn black gentleman's suit. He stood solemnly and gloomy in the center of the stage, and his temperament was incompatible with the harmonious atmosphere of the troupe.

The joyful and relaxed atmosphere paused for a moment.

"Frank Wilson..."

Some young people shrugged and some stuck out their tongues, unanimously disapproving, while the older ones coughed, finally remembered their mission, and tried to correct their attitudes.

"Frank is right, everyone is here, let's start practicing!" Jerry Rio Marrero, the manager and artistic director of the Cherry Lane Theater, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

"Shouldn't the idlers be invited out?" Frank Wilson said again, his gloomy eyes fell directly on Vogt, and the meaning of chasing guests was very obvious.

"It doesn't matter if Vogt stays here! He's Matt's friend..."

"He's just an actor! Angelina is still here, so it's his turn to dictate!"

"here we go again……"

"He's so annoying..."

Most of the people present were young people, and young people had a clear love and hate. They didn't like Frank Wilson very much, but now they thought he was too unreasonable, and they all murmured.If it wasn't for Jelios' face - Frank Wilson was hired by Jelios, they didn't like Frank, but they liked Jelios, their voices would have been louder.

Frank Wilson was not deaf, so he naturally turned black when he heard other people's comments.He didn't think he was wrong. If it was in a Broadway theater, how could discipline be so lax during rehearsals?

He couldn't help but regret once again his decision to leave Broadway.

The author has something to say: ①: Real people and real stories, but the age and personality of Angelina and Jerio are all made up.
