SCOTT CARLSON: [SCOTLAND]

“Hi Erin, thank you for continuing to administer this group, I really like hearing what everyone is up to lately. As you know, I moved to Edinburgh 3 years ago to complete my MBA. Since moving, I have been with a fantastic Irishman, who I will be married to in June. Otherwise, I have been working in Online Marketing and am now a Digital Analyst for Standard Life. My little brother is the performer in the family now; he will be making his debut--doing stand-up comedy--at Edinburgh's Fringe Festival this August. I still go to as much live theatre and dance as possible; so for everyone that is contributing to the next-generation's education, my hat's off to you. Keep up the great work! All the best to you and yours...”

“Hey all....miss you! Not much to report on the acting front (Louisville scene is pretty limited) I was working at Actors Theatre in Louisville which was affording lots of opportunity however they are closed for the season and I am currently hoping to teach a class at Young Actors Institute this summer. Just moved into a beautiful home with the love of my life, dog and cat. Life and Love are treating me well....Can't wait to hear all the awesome updates :))))”

KATIE JUSTICE: [CHICAGO]

“Hey everyone, I am a little freaked out that we have been out of college for seven years now. Yikes. I have been working steadily with a children's theater company for about five years now. Chicago Kids Company. They are pretty great and are kind enough to keep me busy. I am married to a super duper guy named Kyle. About two years ago an awesome guy named Paul came to live with us. He is a beagle/jack russell mix. And the best dog in the world. So that is a short version of what I am up to. Looking at it now it doesn't look like a whole lot but somehow I am still exhausted at the end of the day. Maybe it is because I am so old now. After all I did graduate from college SEVEN years ago!!!!!”

"I'm a single gal living in Evanston. I just bought a house in June (woohoo!) and am still working my Beachbody home business (full time now!). I am ranked as one of the leaders within the company and even qualified for the Success Leadership Cruise in 2011! Over the past few years I've still dabbled in the arts. I took aerials at The Actor's Gymnasium for a year, and I've also been taking lever harp lessons as well. I miss performing on stage, but I still get to perform multiple times per week when I teach Turbo Kick and Yoga up in Evanston. I have three adorable kitties (drawing the line there, as I refuse to become a crazy cat lady) living with me and enjoying their new house.If any of you all ever want any Beachbody products (P90X, Insanity, Turbo Jam, Shakeology, etc.) please buy through my website to help out a fellow alumni - www.exercisejunky.com. Cheers!”

"Hey! I am doing wonderful. I am working with an international real-estate company, Keller Williams and love the people I work with. I am also heavily involved in my boyfriends business Vines and Canines...check out the website www.vinesandcanines.com. In order to get my artistic needs met, I picked up a second job at Actors Theatre of Louisville slinging drinks for the directors and actors. I am also in the process of writing a book and beginning a health and organic living blog. In my spare time I hang with my dog and cat and awesome boyfriend! Hope everyone is doing great LOVE YA!!!!"

"After much debate John and I are moving to Australia in March. We decided to get engaged, and it looks like the wedding will be end of February, beginning of March. I'm very sad to be leaving my job after what will be nearly six years, but new adventures await! hope all are well. xx"

ERIN PATRICIA WAGNER: [NEW YORK CITY]
"Still living in NYC, very happily. I am all resettled into my NYC life. Actually, I am now in college to become a Sign Language Interpreter. I have already finished my 1st five classes. I have approximately 3 years left before I will earn a degree. I'm very excited about this. Sign is the only other thing I've ever been passionate about (besides acting) and I want to have a degree in something so I can quit waitressing in a few years. Other than that, things are as usual. I've been home 8 months now and since then I've kind of taken a break from acting to reevaluate things and decide how I want to proceed. I turned 29 two weeks ago, which is craaazy, but all is well and I am happy."

"Last summer I filmed a commercial for AIU... and it's hilliarious because I look cross-eyed! I did "A Christmas Schooner" at Theatre at the Center last Winter and then returned to the West to do "The Taming of the Shrew" with Utah Shakespeare Festival this Spring. I am currently in Normal/Bloomington, Illinois for the summer season with the Illinois Shakespeare Festival. I'm happy to be working, but eager to return to Chicago (and Scott) this Fall!"

ERIN PATRICIA WAGNER: [NEW YORK CITY]
"Happy 6-Year Anniversary! Well, I am back in NYC. After giving L.A. a try for a year, I decided to move back to my home city. I loved L.A. & it's weather, but I think NYC is the place for me. I'm back living in a very nice apartment on the UES and I'm back at my singing job in Times Square. Things are good. I've been home for about three months now and I finally feel settled back in. I will begin auditioning again soon. Hope all is well with everyone. Love, me."

"HAPPY 5-YR ANNIVERSARY!! Just yesterday, the RU L.A. Group, met for their 5-Yr Reunion. Chicago's reunion was the day before that. Very successful outcomes! Thank you all so much for participating & continuing to keep in touch! On my end, what can I say? I have moved to Los Angeles!! I never thought I'd actually live here!! It's been two months now & I just got a job at CPK (California Pizza Kitchen). Today was my 2nd day of training - yikes!! I'm still in "adjustment"-mode out here and hope that things will quickly settle out & become comfortable. I'm missing NYC, but I'm happy I've moved here to give things a try. My mass agent mailing is almost ready to be sent out & then I'll be on my way. Wish me luck!!"

"I'm still living up in Evanston... I enjoy it up here! I'm still dating the same guy... it's a record for me. I'm also still teaching classes at the LA Fitness up here, as well as the Evanston Athletic Club (anybody up for Turbo Kick, Yoga or Bellydance), and I got picked up to teach a class at Northwestern University. My personal training certification studies are slow, but forward moving. I need to get better at time management so that I can accomplish it more quickly. As always, check out my www. exercisejunky. com site to read my blog AND support me by purchasing Beachbody fitness programs. You KNOW you want 'em!”

KATRINA KUNTZ: [CHICAGO] **MARRIED!!**
"Chicago's understudy supreme (me) is at work again. I am the female swing for "A Wonderful Life" at Theatre at the Center. However, my work has actually paid off, and I've gone on four times so far! I will be away from the windy city from January to February to play Olivia in Utah Shakespeare's tour of "Twelfth Night." I'm thrilled to be employed for those months, but sad to be away from Scott, Katie, and Jeff. Oh...and I am going to really miss waiting tables. :) That's all for now!!"

ADAM MACK: [CHICAGO]
“Hey guys! I'm still living in Chicago, but not sure for how much longer. These damn winters are killing me! I've been lucky to be fairly busy this year. I worked with Redmoon Theatre on Boneyard Prayer and Temporarium. I was in Texas Chainsaw Musical and I'll be playing piano for the Flaming Dames X-mas Torch cabaret show this December. I also was casting director on another indie feature this year, Miss Ohio. Farewell Darkness, the feature I cast last year, has won the Best Feature award at a couple film festivals as well. I made my film directorial debut on a television pilot titled Assissted Living. Otherwise I'm still slinging drinks at Shaw's Crab House. I hope everyone is doing well! A reunion would be fun!"

ERIN PATRICIA WAGNER: [NEW YORK CITY]
"Still on the Upper East Side (do I sense a running theme here?) with the chihauhau & the cat. Still singin' for my supper - literally! I recently did a one-day principal gig on a new Adult Swim show that will premiere in February, called 'Delocated.' You must watch! Anyway, it made me AFTRA-eligible! Also, this past September I became SAG-eligible for being in Equity for a full year. Awesome. In other news, I've been thinking about moving to LA... for real... in March. At least that's the plan anyway. I'm really nervous about it, but also very excited! In family news, my sister did give birth to her second son, Jack, on June 11th. He's doing great and is now 5 months old! How time flies! Speaking of time flying, our next update will be our Five Year Anniversary! Let's try to have a reunion! Yay!"

"I am still living in Chicago but am planning on moving up to Evanston really soon so that I can cut my travel time (and costs) down for my commute to work. I currently work a day job doing administrative stuff but am teaching numerous fitness classes in the evening. I'm certified in group fitness by AFAA, and also hold certifications in Turbo Kick and PiYo (pilates/yoga fusion), and teach 5 classes per week at two different gyms. I'm also studying still for my ACSM personal training certification, which I plan on attaining by this Fall. In my "free" time I'm building my Team Beachbody business from home and I love it! Feel free to check my website out at http://www.exercisejunky.com . Other than that I'm doing great! I'm just seriously busy with my many jobs! I've also been dating the same guy for about a year now... seems like a milestone for me. Haha. Oh, and I have a new kitty in the family too... so two kitties now! So, that's me, in a nutshell. Busy as hell, but happy!"

SCOT CARLSON: [UNITED KINGDOM]
"Well, as for me...after Roosevelt I toured, got hurt, came home to Orlando, changed my life, entered gradschool for my MBA while working at Disney as a research analyst-intern. Now, I am on a brief-stint in Entertainment (again) while awaiting my relocation to Edinburgh, Scotland, where I will be finishing my MBA in International Business."

ROBIN CHILDRESS: [CHICAGO] **MARRIED & HAS 2 CHILDREN!!**

"I am finishing the National Equity Tour of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee right now. I have been with the company for a little over 2 years. Today is our last show in Ottawa, Canada after 9 months of touring 30 cities. It was amazing and I recommend that if given a chance to tour, do it! I did get married and I will be returning home (Schererville, IN) to prepare for a baby boy due in August. We are very excited for our new addition. I'm sure that will keep me pretty busy for the first year so when it's time to update for next year, I hope to be back to work, if not before. Hope all is well. Take care!"

ADAM FORD: [CHICAGO]
"After the Goodman, I was freelance for About Face and Collaboraction as well as covering some Backstage tracks at the Goodman. In the Spring of '06, I joined Actor's Equity as a Stage Manager with the Mamet Festival at the Goodman. After that, I ASMed Okalahoma at Theatre at the Center as well as PSMing "Black Patent Leather Shoes." Then it was on to "Say You Love Satan" at About Face and my first show at the Marriott, "The All Night Strut." I've been out here ever since. I ran crew on Grease, then moved into the office as Project Manager during "Shenandoah" and was promoted to Production Manager on "Married Alive" in the summer of '07. We did the first regional post-Broadway productions of "The Producers," "Little Women," and just completed "Les Miserables." We just opened "Nunsense" and gearing up for "The Full Monty," "All Shook Up," "Princess and The Pea," and "Disney's Alladin" this fall-we're the first commercial company to get the rights to a Disney TYA!! Jennings and I split in September last year, so it's been nice being so busy at work, I haven't had much time. I'm hardcore into facebook and Wii, as one could imagine. My email is now ChopChi@gmail.com for those who want to get in touch! I hope all is well with everyone!"

“Hi, I've been living in Henderson (South Las Vegas) since February. I'm here covering the four principal knights in Spamalot at the Wynn Casino. We close July 13th. I'm training for another marathon (ran the Honolulu marathon in December). Maybe New York this time. I'm planning a trip to New Orleans the second half of July to work with Habitat for Humanity for two weeks. Then spending time with Bobbie and her family, then hopefully spending time with my family in August. Then probably heading back to LA (Bobbie and my stuff is there) until I get a job or self destruct (the company line will be: to blame Erin Patricia's implant, should the latter happen).”

KATHRYN KOROSI: [LOS ANGELES]
"Holy crap, 4 years! We did it (so far)! Well, let's see…since I last reported, here's the reader's digest: made lots of delicious performance art with the Supercool Sluuts of America! (pronounced "sloots", don't get confused) which consists of myself, Ms. Sarah Weis, Jenn Spain and Kate Bergeron. We wrote 2 original shows, called "I Left My Birth Control in Baltimore" and "Bam Bam Suckitt!" a rock opera about Samuel Beckett's alter ego. I directed my first show (Interview by Jean-Claude van Itallie) which involved the MTP boys, as well as JP, Graham, and other favorites. It was a great success in my opinion and I learned a lot. After that I was in a few short films and had a couple of day player roles in some feature length stuff (Farewell Darkness, Art of Pain.) In the fall of '07 Sarah W. and I created a short film out of a performance piece we wrote about the current situation between the Dollar and the Euro. Sarah plays the Dollar and I'm the Euro. It was produced by i^3 Productions (owned by Sarah's creative partner.) Together the 3 of us wrote, directed, produced and shot the film, which is entitled ">< L: 2" or "Greater Than Less Than, Level 2." We describe it as "a glittery and rhythmic master/slave story about international economics." So far only half of it is finished, but that first installment is an official selection in this year's Beijing International Film Festival, so we're really excited and looking forward to finishing the film and entering it into lots more festivals. If you want to check out the trailers you can go to youtube.com/xgreaterthanlessthan. I'm now in Georgia gearing up for a stint in L.A. beginning in early June. I don't plan to be a professional auditioner there, as I got plenty of experience with that at RU. Rather, I want to work on projects with the talented people I already know and see what we can do about the need for serious artistic revolution. The time is now, so I'm goin. If any of you folks ever come out to visit, you're welcome to stay with me. I hope everyone is full of light and enjoying life! Much love!!!"

KATRINA KUNTZ: [CHICAGO] **MARRIED!!**
“Hi Erin! I think (or at least I'm pretty sure) I sent you an update a few months ago?!? Not much has changed... I played Catherine in "Suddenly Last Summer" at ITC and I go into rehearsals for "Phantom" at Theatre at the Center soon. I wish I had more to "add" but that's about it! Oh!- I was Katie's MATRON of honor last week!”

RENDEL LEATHERMAN: [LOS ANGELES]
"What am i doing? hmmm. Well I currently live in Hollywood about two blocks away from Kristin and Eli. It's awesome. I get to hang out with great friends, go hiking, front row seats for the Jamie Chura concerts, date guys on reality shows. Really, what else could you ask for? I curently live alone in a studio, although there is a mouse I've named Pepe. I work at a steakhouse as a bartender where i serve business men, hookers and all the A-list celebrities nightly, Tom-Kat, Babs, Elton John, JT... really, it is something to see. I am also finishing up a certification to teach pilates/weight training classes. I am still working on the acting thing, getting into the improv scene, and Kristin took some great headshots for me. I'll be doing a mailing soon but in the meantime, i'm just enjoying the sunshine. Best wishes to all, and congrats to all the married folK!!!"

TAT LEVY: [UNITED KINGDOM] **MARRIED!!**
"Not much has changed since my last update. I'm still at the same job, but so far despite the writer's strike, and the upcoming SAG strike, we've had a pretty good year- one of our actors won an Oscar (that was a really good night!), and another has just been nominated for a Tony award. I'm so glad that I get to be a part of it all. Still with the same guy. It's been over two years now. I can't believe it's been over four years. Yikes! I hope everyone is well, and I send everyone a huge hug. If you're ever in London, get in touch. xxx "

ERIKA RATCLIFF: [CHICAGO]
“Not knocked up yet but im lookin for a surrogate. Just Finished "Around The World in 80 Day's" at Lookingglass and had a ball. A few folks cam to see it. (thanks Matt and Nardo) Bout to get it on at Chicago Shakes in a new play "Funk It Up About Nothing" by the same brother's who produced "The Bombity of Error's" which i think was a big hit when we were in college.....The run Ends in Scottland at the Edinburg Fringe Festival in August. So I am fleeing the country to hang with the Scots. The current exchange rate is $5 USD = $9 Euros so I will be drinking lots of Pabst b4 i go. Holla at me if you want to set it off....”

ERIN PATRICIA WAGNER: [NEW YORK CITY]
"Four years! Yeesh! Well, here's my update. I still live on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with my little chihauhau, Ashley, but we live in a much bigger/better apartment now. I'm still going out for auditions and just recently booked a commercial for Red Mango frozen yogurt. It'll be playing throughout New York in a month or so, but they said they are debating making it a national thing at some point. Fingers crossed. I still work as a singing waitress, which is pretty fun and it pays the bills. In other news, I am now back in college beginning my three-year degree for Sign Language Interpreting, so I'll have an option other than 'waitress' - however, I am starting to get the L.A.-itch. My sister is giving birth within the next two weeks to her second baby (Jack) and we found out it's a boy, so I'm super excited! That's pretty much it. I want to give a shout out to Robin! Congrats on your new addition and I am so excited for you!! Thanks everyone for writing and we'll update again in November '08! Much love!!"

DAVE WENDELBERGER: [CHICAGO] **MARRIED!!**
“After four years of being away from Chicago, I miss it with all of my heart and more than that, I miss the people that I knew there. However, I am happy to say that I only have one year left towards earning that terminal degree: the "Masters". Angie and I celebrated our 1-year anniversary on May 26, and we were fortunate enough to be back in Chicago where it all began. I am acting this summer is three shows with a little pay. Angie is directing and teaching. Family is good. Summer is good. I want the primaries to be over and I want a Mini Cooper. Hope everyone is doing well. We should try for a big party next year!”

"I'm still living in Chicago with my roomie, Morgan Manasa. This year I've earned my AFAA certification in group fitness and I teach 3 nights per week at the LA Fitness in Evanston. I am also studying to earn my personal training certification. Earlier this year I was a contest from Million Dollar Body for my transformation story. You can see my profile on their site at www.milliondollarbody.com/melanieb. I also became an independent coach for them. I was chosen to be a founding coach and was flown to LA last December and spent time in Beverly Hills (where I met up with Aaron and Steve for a couple of hours). I now a doing that, my group fitness classes, and my day job as a secretary. Things are going really great in life right now! I just got a new Macbook, and I bought a celtic harp this year (I've always wanted to play). So, I'm not really doing any theatre, but when it comes down to it... teaching group fitness is a form of performing, because I've always got to have my best and most energetic face on. If anyone wants to know more about my classes or the Million Dollar Body stuff, shoot me an email or check out my website at www.exercisejunky.com"

MATT CROWLE: [CHICAGO]
"I'm still in new york city and still performing in Spamalot. i greatly enjoy my job and the cast. August was a hard month, as i'm sure it was for many of us, with bruce's passing. the company was so kind and supportive through it all and gave me half the week off so i could make it up to boston for his funeral. it was deeply painful to watch such a brilliant man put in his final resting place when he still had so much he wanted to do. such a loss to so many. i had the honor of performing at his memorial service the following october where i met one of his closest colleagues from london. i spent many drinks and many hours talking with her about what he had been doing in his work in london. it was comforting to hear that he was so respected and so creatively challenged in what ended up being his final years. i am traveling to london this april and, while i'm there, i plan to visit central to hopefully hear more of bruce's endeavors. i hope this finds all of you happy and healthy and pursuing the dreams you deserve."

KATRINA KUNTZ: [CHICAGO] **MARRIED!!**
"Well, (big sigh), my hopes of leaving Chicago and heading to New York right after school have officially been dashed. I have found myself preparing for another Chicago winter. This year I officially became Chicago's premiere understudy (you may have found me performing weekly in many, an understudy rehearsal at Chicago Shakes and Victory Gardens). Unfortunately (and fortunately) I never had to go on. I am looking forward to the day when I perform in front of audiences, rather than stage managers! :) I guess the biggest news of my year is that on New Year's Eve, Scott (Stangland...RU grad) proposed (marriage) and on October 6th we were married in my hometown, Castle Rock, Colorado. It was well-attended by some RU alumni (Katie Justice was the maid of honor and Jeff Diebold the best man). I could easily say that it was the best day of my life...aside from our Freshman Showcase. We are living in Old Town and planning a move to NY sometime soon... Well, that's about it here. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!"

"Wow! I cannot believe that it’s been 3 ½ years!! We’re getting old!!! Haha! I’ve been a total slacker when it comes to writing updates, so I figured I was do for one. I moved to L.A. about two years ago, with a brief stint of four months back in Chicago last winter. I’m still married to the same guy… so score one for me! I’ve managed to book a couple of AFTRA U/5’s, which gave me my SAG eligibility, and I’ve been performing as a stand-up comic over the past year, with performances at the Comedy Store, and Hollywood Improv. I’m OK AT IT, but getting better with practice!! It’s HARD!!! For money, I work the corner and strip at private parties. JUST KIDDING!!! I work as a Miller Lite girl at special events such as Lakers, Nascar, NHL games, etc. If you want to see the most photo-shopped picture in the world, go to my myspace page and check out the poster I shot for Miller Lite. My boobs are HUGE in it, and NO…I DIDN’T GET A BOOB JOB! Lastly, I’ve gotta plug my blog. It’s called That’s Sooo L.A., ( www.ThatsSoooLA.com ) and it’s basically just some funny stories of things that I’ve witnessed out here that explain why everyone thinks L.A. is such a strange place. I promise it’s at least mildly entertaining!! The link for that is below, along w/ a link to my myspace, and a funny video I shot for TALKSHOW w/ SPIKE FERESTEN on FOX. Please drop me a line guys!! I’d love to hear from you!!! Kate"

"I have been working at Stardust Diner for about 10 months now, still living on the Upper East Side. Actually I'm about to move. I'll still be living on the Upper East Side, but 6 blocks from my old apartment. My sister got married in December and is half-way through her second pregnancy. We won't know if it's a boy or a girl for another week & a 1/2. I guess that's about it for my 3 1/2 year update. Back in May!"

DAVE WENDELBERGER: [CHICAGO] **MARRIED!!**
"I am half way done with my Master's of Fine Arts in Acting at Michigan State University. I still get to teach every semester, and this semester I've written a new syllabus that incorporates some of the things we did in Adrian's Comedy and Character. I am excited to work on a production of True West that will be directed by Angie and performed at the end of March. Married life is everything it's cracked up to be, whatever that means. We are happy and live like an old married couple: grocery shopping on Sundays, Grey's Anatomy on Thursdays and dinner with the in-laws every once in a while. No babies yet. We think that might still be another year or so away. Angie works at University of Michigan-Flint as the Costume Shop Supervisor and she hates her job with a passion. She was about to get a new job for next fall, but decided that staying one more year would be the best choice. I miss everyone and am still fascinated when I get "facebooked" by someone."

"Holy crap, 4 years! We did it (so far)! Well, let's see…since I last reported, here's the reader's digest: made lots of delicious performance art with the Supercool Sluuts of America! (pronounced "sloots", don't get confused) which consists of myself, Ms. Sarah Weis, Jenn Spain and Kate Bergeron. We wrote 2 original shows, called "I Left My Birth Control in Baltimore" and "Bam Bam Suckitt!" a rock opera about Samuel Beckett's alter ego. I directed my first show (Interview by Jean-Claude van Itallie) which involved the MTP boys, as well as JP, Graham, and other favorites. It was a great success in my opinion and I learned a lot. After that I was in a few short films and had a couple of day player roles in some feature length stuff (Farewell Darkness, Art of Pain.) In the fall of '07 Sarah W. and I created a short film out of a performance piece we wrote about the current situation between the Dollar and the Euro. Sarah plays the Dollar and I'm the Euro. It was produced by i^3 Productions (owned by Sarah's creative partner.) Together the 3 of us wrote, directed, produced and shot the film, which is entitled ">< L: 2" or "Greater Than Less Than, Level 2." We describe it as "a glittery and rhythmic master/slave story about international economics." So far only half of it is finished, but that first installment is an official selection in this year's Beijing International Film Festival, so we're really excited and looking forward to finishing the film and entering it into lots more festivals. If you want to check out the trailers you can go to youtube.com/xgreaterthanlessthan. I'm now in Georgia gearing up for a stint in L.A. beginning in early June. I don't plan to be a professional auditioner there, as I got plenty of experience with that at RU. Rather, I want to work on projects with the talented people I already know and see what we can do about the need for serious artistic revolution. The time is now, so I'm goin. If any of you folks ever come out to visit, you're welcome to stay with me. I hope everyone is full of light and enjoying life! Much love!!!"

KATRINA KUNTZ: [CHICAGO] **MARRIED!!**
“Hi Erin! I think (or at least I'm pretty sure) I sent you an update a few months ago?!? Not much has changed... I played Catherine in "Suddenly Last Summer" at ITC and I go into rehearsals for "Phantom" at Theatre at the Center soon. I wish I had more to "add" but that's about it! Oh!- I was Katie's MATRON of honor last week!”

RENDEL LEATHERMAN: [LOS ANGELES]
"What am i doing? hmmm. Well I currently live in Hollywood about two blocks away from Kristin and Eli. It's awesome. I get to hang out with great friends, go hiking, front row seats for the Jamie Chura concerts, date guys on reality shows. Really, what else could you ask for? I curently live alone in a studio, although there is a mouse I've named Pepe. I work at a steakhouse as a bartender where i serve business men, hookers and all the A-list celebrities nightly, Tom-Kat, Babs, Elton John, JT... really, it is something to see. I am also finishing up a certification to teach pilates/weight training classes. I am still working on the acting thing, getting into the improv scene, and Kristin took some great headshots for me. I'll be doing a mailing soon but in the meantime, i'm just enjoying the sunshine. Best wishes to all, and congrats to all the married folK!!!"

TAT LEVY: [UNITED KINGDOM] **MARRIED!!**
"Not much has changed since my last update. I'm still at the same job, but so far despite the writer's strike, and the upcoming SAG strike, we've had a pretty good year- one of our actors won an Oscar (that was a really good night!), and another has just been nominated for a Tony award. I'm so glad that I get to be a part of it all. Still with the same guy. It's been over two years now. I can't believe it's been over four years. Yikes! I hope everyone is well, and I send everyone a huge hug. If you're ever in London, get in touch. xxx "

ERIKA RATCLIFF: [CHICAGO]
“Not knocked up yet but im lookin for a surrogate. Just Finished "Around The World in 80 Day's" at Lookingglass and had a ball. A few folks cam to see it. (thanks Matt and Nardo) Bout to get it on at Chicago Shakes in a new play "Funk It Up About Nothing" by the same brother's who produced "The Bombity of Error's" which i think was a big hit when we were in college.....The run Ends in Scottland at the Edinburg Fringe Festival in August. So I am fleeing the country to hang with the Scots. The current exchange rate is $5 USD = $9 Euros so I will be drinking lots of Pabst b4 i go. Holla at me if you want to set it off....”

ERIN PATRICIA WAGNER: [NEW YORK CITY]
"Four years! Yeesh! Well, here's my update. I still live on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with my little chihauhau, Ashley, but we live in a much bigger/better apartment now. I'm still going out for auditions and just recently booked a commercial for Red Mango frozen yogurt. It'll be playing throughout New York in a month or so, but they said they are debating making it a national thing at some point. Fingers crossed. I still work as a singing waitress, which is pretty fun and it pays the bills. In other news, I am now back in college beginning my three-year degree for Sign Language Interpreting, so I'll have an option other than 'waitress' - however, I am starting to get the L.A.-itch. My sister is giving birth within the next two weeks to her second baby (Jack) and we found out it's a boy, so I'm super excited! That's pretty much it. I want to give a shout out to Robin! Congrats on your new addition and I am so excited for you!! Thanks everyone for writing and we'll update again in November '08! Much love!!"

DAVE WENDELBERGER: [CHICAGO] **MARRIED!!**
“After four years of being away from Chicago, I miss it with all of my heart and more than that, I miss the people that I knew there. However, I am happy to say that I only have one year left towards earning that terminal degree: the "Masters". Angie and I celebrated our 1-year anniversary on May 26, and we were fortunate enough to be back in Chicago where it all began. I am acting this summer is three shows with a little pay. Angie is directing and teaching. Family is good. Summer is good. I want the primaries to be over and I want a Mini Cooper. Hope everyone is doing well. We should try for a big party next year!”

JAMIE CHURA: [LOS ANGELES] **MARRIED!!**
"Kelley and I are moving to L.A. in less than 2 weeks!!! AAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!! We're excited, giddy, nervous, scared... you know how it goes with a big move. Haven't packed our stuff at ALL! We have an apartment set up already, so that's good. We'll be moving in with a friend of mine from High School who's already out there - our place is in Studio City. As I mentioned earlier, I've been substitute teaching in Kansas since December. Well, school just finished at the end of May. I would LOVE to be a teacher someday; it was an incredibly wonderful experience. I even had a permanent sub position for the last month of school - an 8th grade teacher had a baby, so I got to take over her class. Good times. I've also been working really hard all year on the technical aspects of my music - a very "right brain" stretch of time for me... not really writing new music, but working dilligently on improving my guitar / voice / songwriting skills. Looking forward to sharing what I've been doing with more and more people if I'm blessed with the chance! :) I truly miss y'all and I look forward to hearing what you are doing this summer. (When you write your update to Erin, please remind her of how freakin' awesome she is for keeping up this site. She deserves our kudos!) Thanks! :) LOVE!"

MATT CROWLE: [CHICAGO]
"Hey erin! thanks for keeping up with this. it's great dedication on your part. i'm still living in New York City where i returned after the national tour of Doctor Dolittle starring Tommy Tune. I did a brief off-broadway production of Take Me Along at the York Theatre Company this past fall and am now performing in the broadway company of Spamalot. it's an incredible company and i'm so thrilled to be doing what i moved here in hopes of attaining. unfortunately, due to not getting to leave the city for the foreseeable future, i had to back out of being the flower girl in Katrina Kuntz's wedding, but she was very understanding. oh, and i believe that chip davis and i will be tying the knot this summer in vermont if we can reserve the chapel i saw in my brides' magazine."

RENDEL LEATHERMAN: [LOS ANGELES]
"I'm living at home with my mom. I plan to move to LA by August. I feel old and poor. Hope everyone else is doing well!!!"

ADAM MACK: [CHICAGO]
"Hey guys! I hope this finds you well. I've been doing all kinds of crazy stuff this past year. I started bar tending at Shaw's Crab House, got hypnotized by money, and put acting on hold. While that was going on, I started doing some casting. I had interned at TP&R Casting to learn actor stuff, and ended up learning about that at the same time. In the past year I cast two short films, "Singing is Believing" and "Mating Dance." I also cast a feature film for UPressPlay Productions called "Farewell Darkness" Starring our own Keith Compton! I'm really excited about it, and it's going to be released late summer/early fall. Look for it! I finally got bit by the acting bug again, and have gotten back on stage. I did "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" with Saint Sebastian Players, and I was just cast in "Splintered Crosses." It's a short play festival about religion produced by Tympanic Theatre, a new company. We'll run from Aug 9 to Sept 15 at the Side Project. Come check it out! Again, I hope everyone is doing great, and loving life! When is our reunion?
Personally I still live with Justin Issa, Clay Stamper and my buddy Nick. I'm playing hockey on the beach still, last year Justin and I made it to the finals! In a couple weeks I'm going to South Beach with my lovely lady Danielle O'Farrell and my Dad and his wife. God, I need a vaca! I also have a cat named Gizmo. Much love!"

ERIKA RATCLIFF: [CHICAGO]
"Hey Boo! All is good. Just trying to stay Busy. Still Loving Chicago although Decaturs are coming this summer and I hate those lil MFer's. As for Thee ART. I just joined the Congo Square Ensemble in March. I have been working on shows and with the education and outreach program and really found a family in the company and their mission. They asked I said "Yes". Otherwise just closed An incredible show Black Diamond at LookingGlass Theatre. It was the show of a lifetime. I want to put in the air that I hope it gets picked up to tour. It is an important show about what is going on in Liiberia and the world should be educated. Next up is Taming The Shrew with Chicago Shakespere for the short Shakespeare this summer. I miss everybody and will randomly call a player or two or see someone on the bus but everyone I see seems to be happy and growing in different paths. Sending everyone good juju and hope all is well (in hell). HOLLA!"

ERIN PATRICIA WAGNER: [NEW YORK CITY]
"A brief update. As I said, I'm living on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. I got a job 3 months ago at Stardust Diner as a singing waitress with Amanda Markeski and (formerly) Mr. Matt Crowle, until he left for an awesome job doing Spamalot! So cool! Other than that, I'm auditioning. I have a show coming up this summer out here called NIGHT OVER TAOS. I'm going to be the lead girl in it, which is awesome, but such a scary undertaking. Estelle Parsons is directing it. My nephew just turned one. Oh, and I met up with Adam Cook out here! He was in town for the day and we went out to dinner! He and I talked about planning our class' 5-year reunion. More information to come. Love you, guys."

DAVE WENDELBERGER: [CHICAGO] **MARRIED!!**
"Hey Erin! Aside from having dreams of you and I getting hitched, I had a real-life wedding of my own this summer! On May 26, Angie and I exchanged our vows and took to plunge into married life. The wedding was beautiful: I accompanied our church choir for an opening number (only fitting: "Dave the Accompanist") My dad played the guitar for two of our friends from MSU and they sang Songbird. The reception was amazing. We had a live band! Angie and I danced to The Luckiest. Chicken Parmesean in case you were wondering. And oh how our lives have CHANGED!!!! um...it's pretty much the same as it was before, only now we get a tax break! (sorry Phil) I will start my 2nd year of Grad school at MSU in the fall. Teaching 2 classes of Theatre 101. It's just as exciting as it sounds! Angie landed a job at the University of Michigan-Flint where she will be the Costume Shop Supervisor and then teach classes starting in the winter. We move into our new apt together on Aug 1! From 2 studio apts to 1 two-bedroom...the least you can say is that we're excited. I miss everyone! Think of Chicago often. good-times. See you all soon! Love, Dave."

MELANIE MAY BOLEN: [CHICAGO]
"I am back living in Chicago now. I moved back because of the Michigan economy being really bad. I did a lot of theatre while in Michigan, but it didn't pay the bills. Since being back in Chicago I haven't done any theatre and have actually chosen a new career path. I am studying to become a personal trainer (I know, hard to believe, right!?). I became certified to teach a group fitness class called Turbo Kick last year and I am hoping to teach that soon and earn my personal training certification by the end of the summer. At the moment, I work at an architectural firm as well as a retail job. I'm doing pretty well. I still share an apartment with Morgan Manasa and we still see some RU people from time to time (Josie, JP, Phil, Jessica, Rani, Jen B...). I still plan do get back into theatre, but I have other things I need to take care of first.
I recently won $1000 for losing weight and getting in shape thanks to Beachbody and the Million Dollar Body game. This week I am one of the Success Stories featured in the video on the website... so if you care to view it, click the link below (*note* check to make sure the video quality is set to "high" or else it'll be really choppy with a bad picture quality... you can adjust this in the bar where the volume is located) http://www.milliondollarbody.com/see_game.htm That's about it for me."

ROBIN CHILDRESS: [CHICAGO] **MARRIED & HAS 2 CHILDREN!!**
"Wow!! Alright. Here it goes. I am still working on the Broadway in Chicago "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" at Drurylane Watertower Place. The run has been for a year and we are scheduled to close March 25th with a possibility to extend for a few more weeks. I am the Olive, Logainne, Marcy Park understudy and boy, does that humble a person. Try learning 3 roles and never really getting a chance to do them everyday. I have fortunately be able to go on for many performances and I love it. It's a great cast and fun show to work on. I am learning so much. I am also working alot as usual. I am still at Wright College working in the Business and Industry Services Department helping to develop customized training programs for numerous companies around the city. My co-workers are wonderful and loving people who have taken me under their wing and come and support whatever show I am in. I am blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful people. I am also in my final year of teaching at Merrillville High School. I love teaching the high schoolers but it's hard to devote enough time, that they deserve, for a final product.
Nothing else is new. About a month ago Bobbie, Zach, Adam Cook and I took our annual ski trip to Harbor Springs, Michigan. Had a blast!! I am single, happy, and looking at buying a condo in this fine city. It's time to invest. :) I hope everyone is doing well. It's nice to look through articles, playbills, and myspace pages and see familiar faces. Keep up the great work and if your still here in the Chi, give me a ring. If you want tickets to the Bee, holla!! I might be able to getcha some."

JAMIE CHURA: [LOS ANGELES] **MARRIED!!**
“I moved back to America (from Australia) in June, 2006; I had proposed to Kelley in January (while we were still living in Melbourne). She flew back here in April, and I followed in June. The two of us used the summer months to plan our wedding, which took place on Saturday, October 7th 2006. (Oh, and when I say that "we both" planned the wedding, I mean "Kelley did almost everything and I suppose I am a poo-face for that." But hey, I'm a boy! I just didn't want to mess anything up!)
So, after the wedding, Kelley and I moved to Kansas with plans to save our money before moving out to Los Angeles. We are both substitute teachers in the Hutchinson Public School system (and we LOVE it!). We are getting work every day, so we are staying here until the end of the school year, and then moving to L.A. in late May / early June of this year. That's about it! I'm really, really happy, and I hope that everyone else is feeling the same about where you are and what you are doing. I Love and miss y'all!! Can't wait to read about what you are up to!”

PHIL HIGGINS: [CHICAGO]
"So, I did have surgery on my ankle and was on crutches for a month, then had to wear a protective boot and then had a lot of physical therapy. On a side note, while I was on crutches I was in a wedding. Jen Bludgen's Wedding!! It was awesome. So, I've started auditioning again. I'm very excited about it because I was going insane just temping! First up this year, I'm understudying out at Drury Lane Oak Brook for the musical Something's Afoot and then who knows! Love to everyone!”

KATRINA KUNTZ: [CHICAGO] **MARRIED!!**
"Can it really be 3 years? I am still braving the cold Chicago winters, and trying to put my degree to use. I appear (almost) daily as a server at the Elephant and Castle. It's alright, and it pays the bills (while theatre usually just pays for my Chicago Card Plus! ) I just finished understudying "Three Musketeers" at Chicago Shakespeare, and I start rehearsals for "My Children, My Africa" at Victory Gardens soon (understudying again). I am eagerly awaiting a 2007 show where I can actually plan some stage time. :) I'm represented by three agencies, but feel very distant from them...I am actually thinking of going exclusive...we'll see.
The biggest and most exciting news is that Scott and I are getting married! After three years of dating we are "tying the knot." It will be a small-ish wedding in Colorado. Katie Justice will be the maid of honor (we've remained close and see each other daily, as we are colleages at the E and C). Jeff Diebold's the best man, and Matt Crowle is a groomsman. The wedding party alone promises a good time! Send your good thoughts out to us on October 6, 2007! Well, I can't think of much more...except a thank you to Erin for keeping us all in contact."

RENDEL LEATHERMAN: [LOS ANGELES]
"Well things are looking up! I am in Arizona, sleeping in the living room of my mother's one bedroom apartment on an air mattress. Good times!! I had to get out of Chicago before I froze so I am taking a pit stop on my way to LA. What is in store??? Never know until you try. Still waiting tables and bartending, but enjoying the SUNSHINE!!! I did recently visit Chicago to finish up a short film with some other Roosevelt Alums (Kat, Chip, Adam Mack, Michelle). It was a mixture of Fun and Delirium! Eventually all my films will be able to be viewed at www.plainlabelpictures.com. Much love to all, and hopefully a few of us can rendezvous in LA!!! Rendel Daisy Leatherman."

TAT LEVY: [UNITED KINGDOM] **MARRIED!!**
"I'm still in London and working for the same actors agency - I've been here for about 15 months now. Work is keeping me very busy, but it's still very exciting and I enjoy it most of the time. I just got back from two weeks in Australia with my boyfriend, we were in Brisbane and Sydney and it was amazing- and sunny- always good when you live in a country with perpetual rain! I'm hoping to get back to Chicago at New Years, and I missed a few people when I was there last summer, so I hope to see you then. Hugs and best wishes to all."

KATE QUIGLEY: [LOS ANGELES] **MARRIED!!**
"Hi everybody! A couple of months ago I shot a sketch for a FOX TV show called TALKSHOW with Spike Feresten. It finally aired this past weekend, and actually turned out to be pretty funny, so I thought I’d pass along the link if you wanna check it out! Here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw3wzRBJKIQ
Oh and P.S. - I miss L.A. way too much and am already working on plans to move back there asap. Probably a few months, but I’ll be there again soon! Love you all!!"

ERIN PATRICIA WAGNER: [NEW YORK CITY]
"I am now living in apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with my two roommates and my cat, Lindon. I just moved here like a week ago, so I'm on a frantic job search. Ugh. I'm still auditioning a lot, but now I don't have to commute - yay! Since we've last updated, I did that Under-5 on Guiding Light and I got a lead part in a play out here. Crazily, I've run into Matt Crowle, Amanda Markeski and Courtney Reed! I actually stepped out of a CVS and there Matt was, just strollin' on by me. Lol. My nephew is already 9-months old, for those of you who know him or my sister. I guess that's really all of my update. Hope I can visit Chicago sometime this year. Bye till May!"

DAVE WENDELBERGER: [CHICAGO] **MARRIED!!**
"I'm still living in East Lansing, MI pursuing an MFA in Acting. I get to teach 101 and the second non-major acting class, 310. Trying to impart what little knowledge I have on performance art to my kids...students that is...no kids yet. Hah. Angie and I are still engaged to be married on May 26th of this year. The planning is coming along, and we've only threatened to elope once or twice. I'm sad to say that I don't get to see many of you from RU very often. Our little party last Sep was soooo great to see everyone there. Love, Dave."

BOBBIE BAGBY: [LOS ANGELES] **MARRIED!!**

"Hey, I moved to LA! I really like it so far. Keeping busy with auditioning, my Dad's company, babysitting, and the travel biz. Check out my site. www.timetotakeatrip.com (time to take a trip . com) Its very cool! Hope your all doing well.”

JAMIE CHURA: [LOS ANGELES] **MARRIED!!**
"Hi Friends! Wow, two years out of school... pretty amazing that it's been this long. As far as I can tell, all of us are still alive and eating food and whatnot, so that's pretty good. I went to Australia to raise koalas in the woods for about 15 months. I also had a brief stint with the kangaroos, and even lived in the middle of the desert with a really nice aboriginal tribe. They gave me a name. It was Lil'Jamie'Roo. They were very friendly. I ate paper and dead mice. But I didn't mind because I had blankets at night. Not to eat, but to sleep under. Anyway, that's all true. But ALSO... my girlfriend, Kelley, came out to Australia with me (as I mentioned in the last update), and in January of this year, I asked her to be my wife. She peed in a cup and handed it to me. (Which WAS a bit weird, but it was the tribe's way of saying yes to a question, and they encouraged her through it.) So, yeah! Kelley and I are getting married exactly one month from today!!! Woo-hoO!!! I am so freakin' excited!! My wonderful lady and I are talking about moving to L.A. after the wedding (which will be in Kansas on October 7th, 2006)... I want to keep going with my singer-songwriter thaaaaang, and Kelley (who went to school in Kansas for theatre and communications) wants to do some film acting. So, we're gonna give it a go! :) I love you all very, very much. And I'm heaps grateful to know you. You're wonderful! :) God bless all you do, ok?"

ADAM COOK: [CHICAGO]
"Ok - I feel bad. You are right. We should all update this, and major props to you Erin for being so forceful. To be honest, I haven't even thought about theatre since I finished my last show 7 months ago. It's been a nice reprieve, but now I am missing it. I am however working full time - Project Managing Account Transactions in Commercial Real Estate. I don't really know what it means, but it pays the bills. I am going back to school this winter to get my MBA, and feel like a total trator. However, I have never been happier. For all of you with aspiring theatre companies - keep me in mid for your boards! I still talk with Bobbie and Zach regularly (and sometimes Robin), and this summer have gotten to see: Katie Justice, Jamie Chura, Chip Davis, Ericka Ratcliffe (Who owes me a sweater - ahem), Adam Ford, Phil Higgens, and briefly ran into Katrina and Tony. Erin - you are in charge of the 5 year reunion. (Side note - I saw a legal/judiciary publication from a Roosevelt University study stating that Illinois has the highest conviction rate for narcotics possession, but the lowest percentage of repeat offenders. Leave it to Roosevelt to be concerned about the study of narcotics possession. GO FLAMES!)"

MATT CROWLE: [CHICAGO]
"Alrighty, this is my first time with this "where are they now" website. so, since we graduated, i moved to new york and worked my ass off at a singing waitor restaraunt in times square and was hitting 5 to 8 auditions a week. It was exhausting and frustrating, but i finally got my break last november and have been on the national tour of "Dr. Dolittle" with Tommy Tune. The tour offically closes in three weeks in chicago at the Cadillac Palace Theatre. So, after that, i guess it's back to New York to carry burgers again. Hope yall are meeting with success. All the best to you."

ZACH FORD: [LOS ANGELES] **MARRIED!!**
"Zach Ford is thrilled to be doing his two year update. He doesn't like LA (where he's been living since July 1st). He thinks it's too hot. He knows it's hot everywhere, but most places you can relish it because you know the cold of winter is coming and not the low 70's of winter which is still too hot for this hot blooded northern boy. He is nonplussed by the fact that no one wears bras here, but he loves that you can get good mexican food everywhere. He has been auditioning a lot. He has been not getting work a lot. He has been swimming in the pool in his complex a lot and has been relearning how to play the piano. He has seen no stars excepting John Kander who he met and the guy who directed Along Came Polly who he sat next to at a movie last night. He is taking a class from Jeff Perry (Thatcher Grey on Grey's Anatomy and an original Steppenwolf Member) starting in early september and he is pretty sure (from googling the class list) that one of his fellow class mates is a Victoria's Secret model: he is again nonplussed. He would like to thank Bobbie and his family and friends (he includes Erin Wagner in this category, though she is like a cute, little, blonde gnat) for this opportunity. PS - Look for the "Loving Repeating: A Musical of Gertrude Stein" cast album soon on Jay Records (www.jayrecords.com). PPS - He hates to solicit to friends, but wants you to know he has a (very legitimate, I assure you) travel website. Please check out www.timetotakeatrip.com next time you're booking travel or a vacation. Yup. Really. Thanks, Z."

LINSEY GESSNER: [LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY]
"I just moved back to Louisville for a year. I plan on moving somewhere new after I save some money- I just don't know where yet. I plan on getting involved in Actors Theatre here in my old hometown. I am also working on getting my masters for health and fitness!"

PHIL HIGGINS: [CHICAGO]
"Okay darling dear snuggle bunny, hear you go whether you like it or not. I've been busy, Oklahoma with Theatre at the Center this spring and then Peninsula players in Wisconsin doing Cabaret. It was amazing Pen Players opened a new six million dollar theatre and we were part of the inaugural season. Next up is going to be really boring. I injured a tendon in my left ankle during Joseph and the .... rehearsals for Theatre At the Center. Tomorrow I find out it only gets a cast or surgery is required....yuck!! Hope all is well with you Erin my dear. Thanks for keeping up with all this!"

JULIE KING: [CHICAGO]
“I'm half-way through my Masters of Education at Lewis. Only a year of classes and a semester of student teaching left! I have these amazing roommates who don't charge me rent and do all of the grocery shopping - that reminds me, mom, dad, we need oatmeal. I work as a receptionist at a Midwest uber-gym, LifeTime Fitness, and during the school year I tutor through my university and judge high school speech competitions. Take Care everyone!"

KATRINA KUNTZ: [CHICAGO] **MARRIED!!**
"I'm still in Chicago....hard to believe, considering I hate humidity and tourists. I am still pursuing the acting thing while happily appearing several times a week as a server-extraordinaire at Elephant and Castle, US and Canada's leading "concept English Restaurant/Pub." Katie J. and Scott S. are my "colleagues" :) and, aside from the occasional rude customer, it works well with auditions and rehearsal schedules. I just got new headshots...I'm in color! Yes, I followed the trend. I got a nice response from agencies and I'm hoping to get sent out, and possibly "book" - I hate that term- something. This Christmas I'll be doing "Roasting Chestnuts" with Noble Fool...I'm looking forward to it...just not the commute of 2 hours to St. Charles. That's all for now!"

RENDEL LEATHERMAN: [LOS ANGELES]
"I am currently serving and bartending at Bin Wine Cafe in Wicker Park/Bucktown. I just move in with my boyfriend (Kenneth of almost 2 years) and 2 other roommates in a big ol' apartment in Humboldt Park, so I am now a bus/bike gal. I like the area but it is hard to get around. I haven't changed my acting path but I have switched to mainly Improv and Sketch comedy. The freedom of doing your own work is astounding. I have also worked on several short films/commercials/tv pilots in conjunction with my man!! Good stuff. Right now I just finished the Second City conservatory and Musical Improv Conservatory and I am looking to begin a new group with some fellow classmates, I am also performing with my Playground Team "Without Erin" regularly. Hmmm... Oh yes and I am currently working on a Cabaret Show with Mike Descoteaux ( the Musical Director from Second City) HE ROCKS!!. I am just looking for the right atmosphere to have it in. During the day I feel like a housewife and sit around or clean, so if anyone wants to do lunch let me know!! Look forward to hearing from everyone- Rendel Daisy"

"I am still in London, although missing Chicago very much. I've visited twice in the last year and am thinking about moving back eventually. I've been at my job for nearly a year now. Still really enjoying it and every day is still a challange. I'm getting to go to loads of cool films and shows and events - I recently went to a photo exhibition for Amnesty's protect the human campaign and it was awesome. It's also quite interesting that some of the stuff we got taught in Belinda's first class is coming in handy- I'm really glad we learnt about SAG and Equity, otherwise I'd be a bit stuck now! My boss is encouraging me to read scripts, and I've seen some really good stuff so far, although there is the occasional script you just want to put through the shredder! The theatre group I've belonged to for ages is now officially a company, although we haven't managed to get around to any of the business of it yet! our show also keeps getting pushed back, but that is mostly due to one or two departures and many new arrivals. Two of the company members (who met at our rehearsals- she's our A.D.) have just become engaged, and since they're both really good friends I can't wait for their wedding. I have been seeing someone for 6 months or so. He's an industrial chemist from Australia and has recently got a job in Cambridge so he's moving there next week. He loves films, so I've been going to the cinema a lot more! Marisa Tantillo has also moved here, and is getting married on Wednesday August 2nd. Audrey is going to be singing at the wedding. I was supposed to be going, but couldn't manage it. Her husband to be is lovely, and they make a really great couple. If any of you met Molly, Phil's old roomate, she is moving to London in September and we are going to be living together- we're moving to a bigger place in November (mine is pretty small) and it will hopefully have a spare bedroom, so if anyone wants to come and stay, you are more than welcome. Congratulations, Dave, that is wonderful! and I understand a few more of our year are also engaged - I wish you all much joy and happiness. Hugs to all."

ADAM MACK: [CHICAGO]
"Adam is happy to say hi to all of his fellow classmates. He hopes that everyone is doing well. He's been auditioning for commercials and short films. Been in a couple of music videos and small ads. He spent the past year working with Hi-Five Productions as the casting director for the short film, "Singing is Believing." The premiere will be this fall, and everyone should come! He looks forward to more productions in the near future. Adam bartends at Shaw's Crab House to pay the bills. Stop by sometime. Much love!"

ERIKA RATCLIFF: [CHICAGO]
“What is up my sister, All is good. Still hanging out in the Chi. Working as much as possible although I am taking the summer off to get some writing and new audition pieces together. Working with an youth outreach program in Dearborn Homes on the near south side. The kids are awesome. Next up is "African Company Presents Richard III" with Congo Square where I am now an artistic associate. Show opens in September and I am very excited about it. All the Chi-town players should definately check it out. Bruce Kirle and I are lovers now. I've learned how to make a mean Sangria. I'll bring it to the reunion. Otherwise just trying to keep it together. Hope being back state side is treating you good. Hear from you soon....yeah? Peace Out, Ericka Rrrrrr, 773-351-0999"

KYLA THOMAS: [CHICAGO]
"Two years later (since graduation) and life hasn't stopped moving at a fantastic pace. Mark and I moved.. downstairs. The renovation has been a lesson in both carpentry and patience. When it's all said and done I'd like you all to stop by for a drink... or two.. or three. Just assistant directed "Closer" with MOB Productions, a fantastic new company- keep an eye out for these guys, they rock. Otherwise I'm auditioning, still working at the same firm, moonlighting as a private investigator and trying to perfect my triple back flip (and by 'trying' I mean my imagination is still recklessly intact-- there is no actual flipping). Best wishes to all! ~Kyla"

ERIN PATRICIA WAGNER: [NEW YORK CITY]
"I am back living in New York. Those of you who remember my sister, Caytee, she just had a baby. He's two months old now. His name is Braeden and he's so adorable! Well, since I've been back in America, I've been doing a few short films and stuff, but my biggest accomplishment is that amazingly I got an agent! Other than that, I work nights at Starbucks and my boyfriend from Japan is visiting for the month! Yay. That's all I got."

DAVE WENDELBERGER: [CHICAGO] **MARRIED!!**
"After two years, graduating from RU still only seems like yesterday, and the classes that we all took together are still very fresh in my mind. I've moved to East Lansing, MI with Angie, where she is still attending MSU for her 2nd MFA (Production Design Costumes). In February of 2006 I proposed to Angie and she said yes! We have set a wedding date for May 26, 2007 (Memorial Day Weekend). After working for MSU as an accompanist and Musical Director for a few shows, I guess I got sucked into their program in a way. The head of acting suggested that I audition for their MFA program starting this fall, and I decided to do it. So now, beginning Fall of 07, I will have a least 3 more years in East Lansing. Hey, why not! I miss Chicago like mad. I hope we will get back to the city someday. Angie and I just finished a musical this summer, A Day in Hollywood A Night in the Ukraine. (A Marx Brothers Delight) I wish everyone well! I would love to have a 5 year reunion. Let's do it at Steve and Adam's old apt. even if they don't live there!"

LINSEY GESSNER: [LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY]
"HEY ERIN!! I'm doing so great! I'm single and loving it. I just moved to Damen and Divison. It's a great location. I'm bartending and serving. I am still auditioning with Encore. They have landed me with modeling gigs, but nothing else. I did Tony Lewis's MIDSUMMER playing Puck and had soooo much fun!!!! I was going to move to San Diego, but decided last minute to stick it out in Chicago. I hope everyone is great! I love you all so much. Please lets get together soon. Linsey."

PHIL HIGGINS: [CHICAGO]
"Erin my cuddle bunny! How are you? Here's my info!(*Where are you?) Living in Chicago! Woo Hoo! (*What are you doing?) Working at Starbucks part time. (*Who are you living with?) My Best Friend Molly. She cooks, I clean, it's a beautiful thing. (*Are you back in school?) No, Mmmmm interesting idea. (*Married/Kids?) Umm, no. (*What are you doing acting-wise?) Everything in the Light Opera Works season. From Chorus to Understudying and finally now I have my own lines. I also went on for an actor in DO I HEAR A WALTZ this summer at Theatre at the Center in Indiana. (*Anything coming up in the near future?) I'll be playing Rolf in THE SOUND OF MUSIC at Light Opera Works, opposite Bobbie as Liesel, and Katrina is Maria - wait, aren't they the same age?! Hmmmm. Love, Phil."

KATHRYN KOROSI: [LOS ANGELES]
"Alright Erin, you’ve finally worn me down. Here’s what’s going on in the exciting world of me: I work at Acordia, Inc. (an insurance brokerage firm and a subsidiary of Wells Fargo), which happens to be on the top floor of Chicago’s famous vagina building (known to some “historians” as the Smurfit Stone building.) So yeah, I’ve got a great view of the city, but I’m definitely paying my dues here by working for “the man.” I get salary, benefits, headaches, and identity crises, but I won’t be here forever, and it provides me the means to work on stuff that’s important to me in my free time. Along those lines, I’ll be part of Stockyards Theatre’s annual Women’s Performance Art Festival in December. Myself, Jenn Spain, Sarah Weis and Kate Bergeron have created a piece called I LEFT MY BIRTH CONTROL IN BALTIMORE for the festival. It’s 20 minutes long and it’s gonna change the world, I kid you not. I’ve also hopped on the MidTangent Productions bandwagon, and am helping to put together a festival of one-acts to be presented next spring (hopefully at Smartbar, which is beneath the Metro.) I’ll be directing, which should be challenging as hell and hopefully quite rewarding. We’ve been working to get MidTangent incorporated as a not-for-profit, and having lots of meetings where we discuss business and eat roasted chicken. Yum! Otherwise, I’m chillin’ and trying to get along, just like everyone else. I hope everyone is doing well and that we all meet again someday to celebrate our tremendous successes, despite the fact that we all went to Roosevelt and will probably still be making payments on our student loans. Love ya!! =)"

RENDEL LEATHERMAN: [LOS ANGELES]
"Hey Y'all. I just turned 25 and had a great birthday. I am working with Adam and Clayton at Big Bowl. My improv group WITHOUT ERIN, is performing at the Playground and writing a sketch show. I am taking classes at Second City, and trying to go to the gym more often. Rendel."

TAT LEVY: [UNITED KINGDOM] **MARRIED!!**
"I'm still in London. I'm working as a PA to a film agent, with some very big name clients. So, I'm right in the thick of things! I'm constantly busy and working my butt off, but I have great colleagues. My boss is lovely and she has taught me a lot about the film industry. I'm having a great time. Still living in the same flat. Lucia Rios has moved here to go to grad school and she was staying with me for a bit. Bruce Kirle is also living here! [Actually about 10 minutes away from me.] Funnily enough, Lucia and I were wondering how we'd find him, and then I ran into him in the street. He looks amazing and says he is getting on very well at his new job (He's teaching at the Central School of Speech and Drama). I've talked to him a couple of times, and we keep talking about meeting up, but I've been a bit too busy recently. Hopefully that'll be rectified soon...I'm still involved with the theatre group. We're doing some really interesting stuff at the moment. Can't wait to see how it goes. Hugs to everyone and hope you are all well."

ADAM MACK: [CHICAGO]
"Yo Yo Yo!!! What up all my Alumnuses!!! Glad to be keeping in touch with ya'll! Erin, do you think we could put something on this board that allows us to stay in contact with each other? It would be cool! So, I just wrapped up HACK/SLASH , and it was a riot. Here's a little more info on the show... http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=6088 I've been interning at TP&R Casting (as some of you know who I've seen there) and it's really been great. A good chance to see the practical aspect of what Jane and Oksana (yes, even Oksana) had to teach us. So the buzz word now is audition! I'm looking forward to my next project, whatever it is, and I look forward to seeing everyone continue to kick ass. Hey guys, guess what? WE ROCK!!!!! I'm proud of ya'll and I hope to see you around town. If anyone wants to holler I'm 773/407/5681."

KYLA THOMAS: [CHICAGO]
"I'm still in Chicago, doing theatre at night and working at a law firm by day. I live with my wonderful boyfriend Mark and feel like I'm on top of the world. I haven't gone back to school, though I am seriously considering taking French at the Alliance Francaise. I've always wanted to be bilingual and I do feel the need to be learning something new. Not married, no kids. Theatre-wise I just finished SYLVIA by A.R. Gurney and PRIVATE EYES by Steven Dietz. Now I'm auditioning a little and relaxing a lot: exactly what I feel like doing :-) I learned to sail this summer and planted my first garden. I camped and hiked and drove to the u.p. to meet Mark after the race to Mackinaw - if you've never been to Mackinaw Island, I suggest going. It's really quite interesting and wonderful: no cars, just bikes and horses... almost makes you wish the whole world was like that.. Hope everyone is well!."

ERIN PATRICIA WAGNER: [JAPAN]
"Well, I just turned twenty-four a few days ago! I'm still living in Japan. I've been here for almost eight months now and my contract is nearly over. I'll be back in New York on December 27th. I auditioned for a new contract out here, but I won't know about that for another few weeks, and even if I get it, I think I still might come home, cuz I've really started to miss America. Everything's kind of up in the air as to what happens next, but I guess we'll see. I'm doing two Christmas shows out here, as well as, the Marilyn one and my Japanese thankfully continues to improve. I just can't wait to get home and eat some American food and watch some quality American TV. I like Japan a lot, but I will never take America for granted again. If I see one more bowl of Octopus Balls on a dinner table, I don't know WHAT I'll do... Peace, Love, & Octopus Balls, Y'all. I'm outti. Contact me." :)
