BOBBIE BAGBY: [LOS ANGELES] **MARRIED!!**
"Hey everyone!! I'm really not up to much. I've been auditioning A LOT. Nothing has come of it, but I'm trying to remain hopeful. I'm still living in Lincoln Square, taking Gymastics, and working for my Dad. That's really all I have to report. Keep in touch ya'll!"
SCOT CARLSON: [UNITED KINGDOM]
"If you'd like to update the webpage, I just shot my first-national commercial for Footlocker/Reebok. Yeah, money does NOT suck!!! Otherwise, having a blast and working my ass off at Bailiwick...I see that Rendel and Erica R. are both prominently featured in some plays as well! Looking forward to hear what's new(s) with you, take care... Update: I just signed a 1-year lease to stay in Chicago...though everyone in any position is telling me to get my butt out to L.A. or New York. I am hoping to relocate to NYC within a year. Meanwhile, I am performing in Dance Divas, a benefit that raises money for AIDS charities. I will also be in two plays this summer, " THE LAST SUNDAY IN JUNE " and " KILT ", both at the Bailiwick Theatre. Last night was the first cast read-through of L.S.I.J. and I am really excited to work with them. I agree, it's weird not having to return to school. I went to my FIRST Roosevelt party the night of our showcase, it was sooo cool to see everyone outside of the classroom. If I could do it all over again, I would have worked less and partied more. I truly wish everyone AMAZING SUCCESS in their art and life [Dave W.]! Here's to the next chapter...... Be Well."
ROBIN CHILDRESS: [CHICAGO] **MARRIED & HAS 2 CHILDREN!!**
"Here's the dealio, yo. I am currently living in Indiana with mom and dad and enjoying the home-cooked meals and free life. They have purchased a car for me to travel back and forth to the Chi. I am working with (surprise) The Happiness Club. I am their new Bookings Manager. I'm also waiting to hear if I have a positon at Wright College. I would be their new Manager of Production, creating a new theatre company/program. I will be calling many of you to work because I would get to hire my own staff. YOO WOO!! I am also teaching at South Shore High School in Hyde Park and still at Merrillville High School. I haven't been auditioning as much because of all the work I am currently doing, but hoping to jump right back into things. I get paid pretty well. People should look into it. It's not a bad gig at all. My nieces have grown up so much since graduation and I love them way too much. I am in the city every day so give me a ring if you would like to have lunch. I am so glad to hear everyone is doing so well. I will keep you posted on the upcoming job. Peace!!"
JAMIE CHURA: [LOS ANGELES] **MARRIED!!**
"I am enjoying some time with my family in the south suburbs of Chicago, saving some money until I go to Australia with my girlfriend, Kelley, at the end of May 2005. I will be staying for at least 6 months, and if I find myself with nice opportunities in my homeland, I may stay a bit longer. I am still writing and playing music, doing mostly solo acoustic gigs, as I prepare to leave the country this coming Spring. I am also an acting coach at a high school in the south suburbs of Chicago. I LoVe it!! I would really like to teach some day down the road. I hope everyone has realized that you are free to do whatever you want to do. So, go be happy!! Much Love!"

"After graduation, I did a quick run of FEATHERS IN THE WIND at Chicago Jewish Theatre. I immediately went into rehearsals for VERBATIM VERBOTEN at the Royal George Theatre, which I assistant directed, and continue to work guest artist into, act in, and sometimes host for the extended run. It opened in August and runs through the end of January. I also did BUNNICULA at Lifeline Theatre in the fall, which was a lot of fun - especially recording the CD for it! I understudied another kids show at Emerald City/Apollo Theatre and will be appearing as the Tin Man in THE WIZARD OF OZ with the same group directed by the wonderful Dado. I am directing a version of Dan Stetzel's THE NAUGHTY CABARET at the Royal George as well, coming up in 2005. I also, got the great opportunity to host the second stage of THE ELECTION SHOW at the Neo-Futurarium on November 2nd. I have seen Bobbie, Zach, Robin, Katie, Katrina, Rendel, Lindsey, Adam Ford, Adam Mack, Tony, Chip, Jamie, Phil, Scot Carlson, Dan Stetzel and Scottie Ziemba since graduation. Would love to see the rest of you, or more of the people I have already seen."

CHIP DAVIS: [CHICAGO]
"I'm in Napa Valley California just north of Calistoga in the town of Cobb. I'm working at Pine Grove Resort and Spa performing a variety of tasks that help keep the resort in operation. The location is amazing; being nestled between wine fields and pine forests and fresh spring water creeks. I'm connected to the Earth again in a much more extreme, wonderful, and respectful way. I'll be here until Sep. 7th at which time I'll be going home to Manhattan Beach in Southern Cali for a week or two. After that I'll be coming back to Chicago for a short time until I go to NYC with Matt Crowle for a week or two to help him move there. Then after NYC, I'll be returning to Chicago to my same apartment at N. Kenmore Ave. Speaking of which: I need a third roommate, so please send someone my way if they're looking for a place. $525 a month w/o utilities. I'll back in Chicago sometime in Early October and if you would like to contact me my cell phone doesn't get reception here, but I have a house line 707-928-9976 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting. 707-928-9976end_of_the_skype_highlighting. During my off hours I rehearse for the shows we are putting on. Our first show opened on July 3rd with a great reception from the attendees. The show is two one acts by James McClure, one titled LONESTAR and the other LAUNDRY & BOURBON and when you put the two shows together it's called 1959 PINK THUNDERBIRD CONVERTIBLE. Our second performance of this show is on July 17th and then our new show ALL IN THE TIMING by David Ives opens on July 31st. This show is comprised of four one acts, two of which I'm in WORDS, WORDS, WORDS and THE PHILADELPHIA, and then I'm directing SURE THING.
When we're not doing our shows we do improv games and sing and play songs at the campfire. A little background for ya'll on this place: Families have been coming here for four and five generations. Many of the people here use to work here as well. It's been under new management for the last year and a half, which is bringing much controversy since the new owners plans for this place is very different then what it is now. Right now the "Grove" as they call it, is rooted in tradition, and the new owners are making it less rustic and more into a "Resort & Spa." We're constantly feeling out our place right now and trying to implement workshops and dance classes and entertainment for the whole family around the existing activities like Bingo, which they have EVERY night. The attitudes of the Locals is mixed about us, but the surrounding areas are extremely supportive and want this theatre here.”

Previews begin on the 16th and Press opening is the 21st (Dan Stetzel's birthday party is that night as well at 7:00 at either Davenport's or Gentry on Halsted (I don't remember) (wow. double parentheses.) and he would love whomever to show up and you all fit that description). Anyway, I would love for you guys to come see the Appletree show if you get a chance. I'm turning Equity with the show and I think it is progressing nicely, so it should be good. I have a few comps and a few more half-price tickets. Just let me know if you're planning to attend. I also just moved to my own place at Sunnyside and Paulina and am planning a house warming party for later this month. I'll keep you updated via Erin Patricia. Appletree is located at 595 Elm Place, Highland Park, IL. The Union Pacific (I may have just made up the name of that line; in any case, it's the one with the green booklet.)

"Well I am staying in town!! I am moving out of the Grandparents and into my own place like a real live adult. I have a bunch of auditions set up for the next few weeks. And then I am working my butt off at two different restaurants: Healys in Forest Park and Elephant & Castle on Adams and Clark, in the financial district. Come visit me!!! I am feeling a tad scared about my life and future, so I have come up with a plan. I am going to win the lottery and pay off my loans and then support my acting and singing habit. I miss everyone all so much. I knew I would miss everyone, but I didn't realize it would be this much. It is just weird to know that I am not going to see everyone every week like usual. I am not a fan!! Well, hope all is well!!"

I have no theatre stuff lined up for a bit - (you mean I actually spent four years in a THEATRE program?!!?) - but I do have restaurant employment in London looming, and am putting feelers out there for future schooling (Dramaturgy, etc.) or possible acting jobs, once I have actually managed to find my way around the beautiful city. For right now I am enjoying the somewhat unknown experience of sound sleep, and missing everyone in Chi-town. Much love to all, and remember, there is always a place for you to stay here! Hugs, Tat! (p.s.) If anyone sees Chuckles, please tell him I say Hi! UPDATE: After a (very short) three weeks off, I am starting work again, at a very busy, very posh Indian restaurant , and although the work is very demanding, everyone seems very nice, and the managers don't seem to mind if I go the occasional audition, although, since I don't know anyone, I don't think that's going to happen for ages. After reading everyone else's fantastic news I wish I had theatre news... I miss being in the States a little, and I would love to hear how people are getting on. If you do wish to get in touch please try my 01 e-mail address - it is easier to access. Hugs."

"Hey everyone! I can't believe how fast everything is happening for everyone. So many of us have things going on. When I was younger all I heard was that you would graduate with a theatre degree to be unemployed. Forget that! Congrats to all who are out there shaking it! I'm sitting here on my second to last day of King John, very thankful for the chance, and for the fact that it's almost over!!! I'm going back to Detroit to do a show on the 19th of June. It's called Play-by-Play, and it's a marathon of original short plays. I'll get to do a two person play twice. Should be fun. After that I'm moving up to Wisconsin for the summer. I'm doing an internship with the Penninsula Players. I'll be chillin with Dan Sanders Joyce, and I'm really looking forward to the experience. So to all of you making Chi-Town your base of operations, I'll see you in September. But I do still have my phone and e-mail. Thank you all for taking me in like one of your own. It means the world to me. I love you all!"

“Tony hopes to be staying in the Chicago area for some time. "I currently live in the Edgewater neighborhood. Taking some time off from acting to stabilize myself financially. Debt truly is a marvelous thing. However, during this hiatus, I will not be letting my creative juices (ewwwww) go to waste. I will be writing and am definitely looking for anyone else interested in collaborations. On the long term plan, I kinda want to make a movie in the next year or so. I am currently working on a script; it's a comedy. But that might just be a pipe dream."

"There isn't anything interesting about my life, post CCPA. I do reside at chateau 3JA, and loving it. I am working at Ben and Jerry's. Ice cream will make me nice & plump I am sure, it is a devil to be reckoned with - much worse then my heroine addiction. I am taking time off from the acting crap, because I am exhausted and fed up with it. I have yet to lose my overtly blunt bitterness on the subject. I have been writing a great deal though; short stories, monologues, scenes, and I am trying to rework my ten minute play from freshmen year into a full work. That is my life, nothing worth writing about, so don't print any of this or I will hunt you and Bailey down and sell you to the Asian white slave trade market! But, whenever I do have something for you I will keep you posted. Miss you tons. Oh yeah, we will be in New York for New Years this year so mark the calendar. Ciao Ciao, JP!"

ADAM VENESS: [CHICAGO] **ENGAGED!!**
“Adam Veness has moved out of his sloppy bachelor pad! He is now living comfortably in his own studio on Pine Grove in Wrigleyville. He has a fully operational headshot studio and would like to take your picture! "I hope all is well in the world of ex-CCPA!"

ERIN PATRICIA WAGNER: [NEW YORK CITY]
"I am now living in New York. I'm at home with my family, which is cool. I don't have my own apartment yet, but I'm happy to be at home for the summer. I need to get grounded after graduation. It was so weird to leave Chicago and know that I wouldn't be coming back in the Fall! How scary! The last person I saw was Phil, who sold me a stuffed rabbit at the Symphony Store, an hour and a half before my plane to New York departed, haha - don't ask (&, thanks for the discount, Phil). Anyway, my rough plan, as of now, is just to get a Backstage ["NY PerformInk"] and start auditioning for things. I recently had a pretty cool audition for CBS (w/ a few of our classmates). They were auditioning for new female leads in NY & L.A.-based soap operas and I got a callback. I haven't heard anything though, so - fingers crossed, right? I figure, the best thing for all of us [to get used to doing] is just to audition for a million things and then just forget about all of them, so that when you actually DO get a call for a job, it's a very nice surprise. I miss you all and I'm glad this website is begin to grow. How weird that we're all graduated!!! Ahhh! Okay, love ya! Ciao!"

UPDATE: Two days ago, I went into the city for a few auditions that I found in Backstage and I just received word that I got in a show called YOU'RE IT! It's like a musical parody of the 1940's motion picture era. I am playing the 'leading lady'. We are rehearsing in Manhattan for 4 weeks, starting June 7th, and then we move to Seaside Heights, New Jersey for tech & open! We are performing 2 months on the Jersey shore. We get free room & board & a salary. There's 12 people in the cast and we'll all be living together in a small apartment, 1 block from the beach! I am so excited! Hope everyone's doing great & remaining safe and happy!”
DAVE WENDELBERGER: [CHICAGO] **MARRIED!!**
"This summer, I'm putting my acting chops on the back burner so that I can make some cash while working for Chicago Special Events Management. I will be joining many other Roosevelt graduates in the field of work, and I think it'll be a grand ole summa! On August 28th, Angie and I will be making the pilgrimage to East Lansing, MI where she will be earning another Master's at Michigan State, this time for Costume Design. And I will be doing my best to keep up with her life, and I will probably break into the acting world of East Lansing. You know, use my Chicago-style good looks and way cool training to bust it open over there! Anyway, August 27th! We are having the biggest going away party ever! It will be held at Chuckles', Josie's, JP's, and Jessica's awesome coach house. A.K.A. "A Triple J's House" So I will definitely be getting on the horn and inviting everyone I possibly know, but ya'll should do the same. We're gonna rock this town one last night! Have an excellent, plentiful, and relaxing summer everyone. I'm sure I'll talk to all of you soon."
