But nothing is postponing Herdlicka's career. His appears to be one of those rare cases of instant show-business success.He graduated with a Bfa in drama/musical theater from Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University earlier this year, and after his college showcase he signed with Dgrw, a boutique talent agency in New York. He moved to the city in late summer and began preparing for a role in "The Greenwood Tree" at the New York Musical Theatre Festival.
