Doris

Danny:
Well Schwartz, I don’t have to ask what you’ve been doing since you left the school.

Danny:
And who’s the lucky guy?

Doris:
His name is Bob Rhythm (cut to Danny raising his eyebrows. Doris raises a hand) Forget it, I’ve heard all the jokes. He’s the artistic director of the Kenly Players of Akron Ohio. We met during summer stock. Then we fell in love and…(looks at him and smiles)

Danny:
And the rest is history. OK, so here’s the big question. What has the School of the Arts meant to you? And Jenny? You’re gonna have to let your mom speak for herself.

Well, this is the place where I discovered the real Doris Schwartz. Y’know, I was always acting as a kid, always playing roles, always trying to be what everybody wanted me to be. Then I came here, and everybody had so much confidence, and personality and I realised I didn’t know who I was. Then after about four years, and the help of the people here, and the love, I started to get acquainted with myself. And you know something? I really like who I am. If I hadn’t come here, I probably would never have known that. (kisses baby’s head)
