Name:  Jordan Johnson

Position on PCP:  Co-Tour Manager

Year in School / Major:  2013 / Theatre

Favorite Ice Cream Flavor:  Cookies 'N' Cream

Favorite TYA Play or Musical:  Honk! by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe

Why You Joined PCP:  I love theatre.  I love kids.  I think I saw that Purple Crayon fills a void in the NU arts community, specifically reaching out to young audiences.  I was drawn in by how passionately my fellow PCPeers work toward not only producing awesome theatre, but also being leaders in the arts education community.

One Piece of Advice for Freshmen at NU:  Focus on the BIG PICTURE!  You'll get so caught up in the fourteen shows you're working on this quarter, all your a cappella rehearsals, the all-nighter research paper writing, all while trying to balance a social life...just remember that you have a lifetime to be stressed, but only a few short years of the college experience.  Focus all your energies only on what you REALLY love!
