The Milwaukee Theater -- Where Calvin graduated!
Listen: In this piece, you’ll hear Calvin Washington talk about his version of family. For him, his family extends into his entire network of friends around the neighborhood. It also just so happens that his family is very present around the house — during our interview at his kitchen table, there was a constant stream of people (not to mention a dog that you might be able to hear at a few points) flowing in and out. In fact, we even had a few audience members set up at chairs in the kitchen, soaking in our interview.
You may have noticed that we’ve given each of our 09′ grads a nickname at the beginning of their piece. Past titles include The Crime Scene Investigator, The Nose Tackle, and The Very Special Extraordinary Person. What’s the newest handle? The Coolest Person Ever. Calvin said it, not me (in fact, he said it a few times). But, you can be the judge:
We’ll check back with Calvin in a month, to see how his family’s doing, and to see how he’s preparing for college.
