See photos of the reading and reaction <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wabash.edu\/photo_album\/home.cfm?photo_album_id=3211\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If the laughs weren\u2019t as sustained as those he earned in \u201cThe Miser,\u201d it was only because his plays were much shorter. Fellow seniors Donovan Bisbee and Geoffrey McKinney led a cast that included Raynor Mendoza, and Zach Thompson kept the audience of faculty, staff, and students laughing throughout the lunch hour. Plohr concluded with question and answer session, and was encouraged by theater professor Jim Cherry to expand the characters in one of the vignettes into a longer play.<\/p>\n<p>Professor of Theater Dwight Watson called reading was a fitting conclusion to Plohr\u2019s theater career at Wabash.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with Jordan and his participation at all levels of Wabash theater,\u201d Watson said. \u201cEven though I was cast in the role of his advisor and one of his professors, I think of him as a colleague and friend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the College\u2019s most recent production, Jordan played the miser, Harpagon, with such cleverness and skill one might think that Moliere&#8217;s character and Jordan were one and the same. Not true. He is good natured with a generous sprit that you can not help but enjoy his company on the stage or behind the scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As all of us discovered at his reading last week.\u00a0Plohr will be among 191 seniors graduating Sunday as the College holds its 174<sup>th<\/sup> Commencement at 2:30 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steve Charles\u2014Three weeks ago Jordan Plohr \u201912 kept the audience in stitches with his portrayal of Harpagon in Moliere\u2019s \u201cThe Miser,\u201d but the senior\u2019s final appearance on the Wabash Theater stage wasn\u2019t [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"w_featured_image_url":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/fyi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2012\/05\/10jordan3lores.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/fyi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/fyi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/fyi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/fyi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/fyi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1373"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/fyi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1373\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/fyi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/fyi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/fyi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
