Meet "Schwartz" - Paul Hans

Paul is stepping up this time at the Backstage in a much bigger role, after having been seen in the chorus of A Music Man this last summer, and he's doing a terrific job.  He takes acting very seriously (like his father who is part of our backstage crew on this show), and he even wears a special Schwartz hat (modeled after the one in the movie) created for him by his grandmother.

In his own words:

"My name is Paul Hans.  I play Schwartz in A Christmas Story.  I am nine years old,  I have been in five other plays.  My favorite part is when I dare my friend to lick the lamppost.  Acting is my favorite thing to do."
