Way Gone Wednesdays: Nick Offerman

DateWednesday, September 28, 2011 at 8:44AM

Next week, the Celebration Company at the Station Theatre in Urbana, IL will launch its 40th season.  I've been frequenting the Station for close to 15 years now.  My wife has starred in several productions (Eurydice, My Name is Rachel Corrie, Whitey, and Suburbia, among others).  I myself have composed some original compositions (Couples Counseling Killed Katie) and my son lent his voice as the boy in Rabbit Hole.  Depsite this history, it was only yesterday that I realized Nick Offerman was a Station veteran.  You may know him as Ron Swanson on NBC's Parks and Recreation.  Nick cut his teeth on our tiny little community stage.  Way gone.
