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!"

"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."

"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."
