Brother Martin Alumnus Donald Jones, Jr. ’05 spoke to members of the Dionysians/ Drama Club on Wednesday, August 17, 2016. Currently, he is part of the cast for the Tony-winning revival of Chicago at the Ambassador Theatre on Broadway. Prior to Chicago, he was a member of the inaugural Broadway cast of Aladdin. Donald, a former officer of the Dionysians, spoke to club members about his time as student/thespian at Brother Martin and Northwestern State University of Louisiana. He encouraged the students to study diligently, invest in themselves, and to trust and follow their instincts. This advice helped Donald chase his passions and dreams to Broadway. Another highlight of the evening was Donald reuniting with former Brother Martin classmates and Dionysians, Mr. Michael Lynn ’04 and Mr. Ryan Nocito ’06.
The meeting ended with a Q & A session between the club members, the Dionysians moderators, and Donald.
