Here's a review in the Daily Princetonian (Princeton's student newspaper) of a student presentation called Hero, a work written, directed, choreographed and performed by students, including Trent who does a tap dance in it.

Well, we know of at least one former American who was a London Billy who won't be at the final London show Saturday night.

According to this article from NJ.com, Trent will be appearing over this weekend in the Lewis Center for the Arts' Program in Theater at Princeton University will which be presenting a re-imagining of the musical Singin' in the Rain. In addition to being a cast member in the show, Trent is also co-choreographer.

A nice article despite the fact that the writer, in describing Trent's past accomplishments, has confused his Billy Elliot credentials for London and New York: "Kowalik was in the original London cast for Billy Elliott the Musical and was cast in the Broadway production, winning a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical in 2009."
