Hey all! Sad to see the old guestbook go bye-bye...but hey, here we are again. Just dropping a line to see how everyone's summer is going. I've been keeping busy as a Jill-of-all-trades around Baltimore. Nothing like painting New Argentina drops at 1:30 in the morning to make you feel alive, right? :) Next stop...Six Dead Queens and an Inflatable Henry with The Mobtown Players...it's going to be something really special. Check me at stagemgrelby@yahoo.com or www.myspace.com/stagemgrelby.

Love and Hugs to all those who haunted the back hallway from 1997-2001!!

Congrats Monique!!! Good luck with the pregnancy.

Hey All:

If anyone is planning on being in Frederick on Sunday night, The Wayfarers (Me, Brad Dunnells, and Jason Tinney) will be playing at Bushwallers at 8pm. We'd love to see you.

Best to Everyone, Hi Shelly, and Monique, I am so happy for you!

Laura

I'm an alumni now? Weird.

Greetings from The Windy City!

Jess Neilson, Haily Wineland and I are the new wave of migration to Chicago and everything is going splendidly, all working really hard, and staying crazy busy. I just closed The Elephant Man at Steppenwolf as the Stage management apprentice (basically the non-equity asm) and am moving on to something different for the next three months and then back at Steppenwolf for Dead Man's Cell Phone in the spring. If anyone is in the area and looking for tickets, get in touch! The other ladies are doing wonderfully and I'll let them make their own posts.

Happy (early) Thanksgiving everyone!

Mary

Greetings fellow alums. It's goot see this back up and running without someone trying to sell me Viagra.. Yeah I may be getting older but still don't need it. Anyway I just wanted to say hi. I'm still involved in community theatre here in Los Alamos but busy with my full time job running a medical practice. Hope everyone is well. By the way does anyone know what happened to Mike Beaver?? Take care.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. It will be a baby girl. I hope she dances...lol! I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. Miss you all and think of you often. Stay well. We should all plan a '96 and '97 reunion. That would be fun!

Hey guys! :) Thanks for the new guestbook, Jay! Hope everyone is doing well... I moved to NY in June and love every second of it. Did a few projects for NYU and some freelance stuff to keep me busy.

And on Jan. 1st, I'm leaving to go out as Associate Conductor/Keys 2 for the RENT tour. If anyone's around Bmore in early March, I think we hit the Hippodrome for a weekend, I'd love to see ya! For chicago people, we're at the Palace for a week in Feb! Check it out!

Merry Christmas!

Hello Towson Alums!

I am writing to see if you are interested in auditioning for MAD BREED by Jacqueline Lawton at Active Cultures, the vernacular theatre of Maryland. MAD BREED begins rehearsals on March 29th and runs May 2nd – 25th at Joe's Movement Emporium. MAD BREED was commissioned and developed by Active Cultures and will be directed b y Juanita Rockwell. Please contact Mary Resing at activeculturestheatre@yahoo.com or 301-526-9921 to schedule an audition for Saturday, January 12.

Below is a description of the play and a list of the roles we are casting as well as bios for the playwright and director. We are proud to say that although Active Cultures is a new and small theatre company, all artists are paid (they are paid only a tiny tiny stipend but they are paid something).

MAD BREED-- On the eve of their parents' wedding, the offbeat teenaged siblings of John Wilkes Booth decide to put on a play. When they are unexpectedly joined by an African American actress on the run, romance, Shakespearean verse and mayhem ensue. Experience the insanity, brilliance and over-the-top sibling rivalry of one of Maryland 's most notorious families one silly summer on their family farm in Belair, Maryland .
CHARACTERS:

    * Adah (30/16), beautiful, smart, brave, a free African American girl, who dresses up as a boy to perform in minstrels, incredibly talented, she adores Edwin.
    * Edwin (32/18), handsome, genuine, Junius' mentor, dresser, companion, and guide while on tour, he has personal aspirations to be an actor himself, he adores Adah.
    * Wilkes (27/13), terribly handsome, charming, scrappy, Junius' favorite son, precocious, racist, driven, a good, strong actor, and politically minded.
    * Asia (16), Junius' youngest daughter, creative, determined, and adores Wilkes to a fault, loves Sleepy for who she knows he could be, if he tried.
    * Sleepy (18), opportunistic, a bit of a playboy, Edwin's classmate, wants desperately to be a tragedian actor, but is more suited for comedy. This actor will also speak the voice of Shadow of a Man.
    * Blanche (16), a princess, ridiculous, a horrific actress, neighbor to the Booths, she loves Edwin to a distraction.

Playwright JACQUELINE E. LAWTON is the author of Blood-bound and Tongue-tied, Deep Belly Beautiful, and The Devil's Sweet Water. Her plays have been developed and received workshop readings at Didactic Theater Company in collaboration with the Kitchen Theatre (Round House Theatre); the Kennedy Center 's Page to Stage Festival under the sponsorship of the Shakespeare Theater Company; Rorschach Theater Company's Magic in Rough Spaces New Play Development Program, and Woolly Mammoth Theater Company (with support from Arena Stage). Most recently, Ms. Lawton's play The Devil and The Marine was written and produced as a part of Rorschach Theater Company's MythAppropriations. Ms. Lawton is a three time semi-finalist for the Playwright's Center PlayLabs and recently received the Young Artist Program Grant from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities to fund further development of The Devil's Sweet Water (keep and eye out for that in February 08).

JUANITA ROCKWELL is a director, writer and dramaturge with over 20 years experience developing new works for theatre, opera, radio and multi-media. She recently directed Shoot the Messenger, a site-specific solo performance in a 100 year-old barn in Connecticut . She directed the workshop premiere of The Sound of Waves, a music theatre piece by Donna DiNovelli/David Rodwin, for Mabou Mines/Suite Resident Artists program. She was Co-Director of Squonk Opera's multi-media production Burn, which premiered at Pittsburgh 's City Theatre and toured nationally as Inferno. She also wrote/directed/co-designed A Cave in the Sky, a work with puppets, performers, and video, for The Artists at St. Ann's Puppetlab at The Culture Project in New York City and in collaboration with her husband, musician/sound/video designer Chas Marsh. Other productions she has directed include Moliére's The Misanthrope (Blue Heron Theatre, NYC), Beckett's Play (with sculptor John Antone at Washington Project for the Arts, DC), and James Sellars' music theater pieces Chanson Dada (Sao Paulo, Brazil) and For Love of the Double Bass ( Madrid, Helsinki, Yorkshire ).

Yay! New Message Board! Congrats, Monique, on your new wee one! Laurie says hello!

I've got a new show I'm in to pimp to anyone out here on the west coast. After an extended run Off Broadway in New York, R.R.R.E.D. the Musical is playing Los Angeles for two short weeks and YOU, my lucky duck friends, YOU can buy a ticket to TEH AWESOME.

Katie Thompson's voice (www.katiethompson.com) has more soul than a Pentecostal tent revival. Adam Jackman's book is so funny, you'll want to wear Depends. When's the last time you saw a show in LA that didn't make you want to spork your eyeballs out? Come out this or next week and your answer will be "January".

Hey Towson!

Just got word that I am off to Asia to tour with the show "42nd Street". I will be playing the part of "Anytime Annie"! I will be there for six months and will hit South Korea, Malaysia and Thailand! So I am SUPER excited! I will return to NYC in July to hit the audition circuit once again!

Hope all is well with everyone!

-Jenna

Hey all! I think a reunion is well in order! Anyone know what happened to Monica Murphy? I haven't heard from her in years!

Glad to hear you're teaching for BSOM Michelle. Is Karla Kettler still there? She's actually a really old girlfriend of mine! Small world. I worked in admissions for them for a while too up here at the York Campus.

Been really getting the itch to get back on the stage. Thinking about auditioning for the local community theatre's "Into the Woods" It's been a LONG time!I'm pretty rusty!

Anyone I know have young kids- I'm all about play dates on the weekends- my boys are 4 and 6.

Give me a shout - mattmcdunnell@aol.com

So glad to see our alumni page make a comeback! What is there to say? I just celebrated my third year in NYC and it was the best year of my life for enough reasons that could fill an entire novel! Main highlights were getting to perform in the DC Fringe Festival (a group up here took the show down there), doing a short film with my brother for the first time ever, being in Verizon Wireless' network (I've done background on at least half a dozen of their commercials), a random appearance on Fox Business Channel during a promotion I was doing and a ton of other things. Oh and by the way, I saw John Glover in "Drowsy Chaperone" last summer. It was one of the best musicals I've ever seen on Broadway, so sad it closed.

For anyone who's in NYC or visiting or just wants to say hello, please do so! E-mail is actorgersh21@yahoo.com or add me on Myspace http://www.myspace.com/actorgersh and you will need to enter either my last name or e-mail to add me. Also for all you Orioles fans out there (if you haven't abandoned them yet) I formed a fan club up here so if you want an invite to the next event when the season starts by all means let me know! Hope everyone is having a prosperous and exciting new year so far!

Just dropping a reminder post to alums who are still local. Check out "Six Dead Queens...and an Inflatable Henry" at the Mobtown Theatre from February 15th to March 8th. Scenic design by yours truly, PLUS a fabulous cast featuring none other than fellow alum Kerry Brady! Tickets are selling fast! I'm so proud of this show. It's funny and weird and touching. (Just the things i like best in theatre. :) )

Hope to see lots of you there! I'll be in the booth running the gajillion projection cues I managed to write. :P

Hello all! I think it's been 5 years since I've posted. Anyway, my theatre company in Los Angeles, Son of Semele Ensemble, is still alive and kicking. We're doing Melancholy Play, by Sarah Ruhl, at the moment...getting some very exciting press! Check out the website if you're so inclined.

sonofsemele.org

Other than that, still working with children with autism. I'm getting my certification in Behavior Analysis next month and getting married in August. Whew. Hope everyone is well. Drop me a line. krisbren@mac.com

Hey ya'll! I'm looking for anyone with some performance pics of 2001's How to Succeeeeeed...Trying?

Thanks. Hope everyone is well!!!

morganickney@comcast.net

Hey guys! Just a quick reminder, Rent is at the Hippodrome theatre next weekend, March 7, 8, &9. If you might be coming out to see it, give me a holler - I'll be onstage on keys 2! Will also be out and about around downtown/Mt. Vernon area probably. Hope everyone is doing well :)

Greetings,


Wanted to tell everyone about a new project I'm creating, the booksailor podcast. BookSailor.com will be a new site launching within the next few months to help promote children’s books, children’s music, and children’s literacy. The web site is currently under construction and I am working feverishly to pull everything and everyone together. As it is my desire to have several weeks of material fully prepared before we go live, I am at this point actively seeking out authors and musicians who are interested in promoting their work.

I know few children who don’t love being read to, as such the main focus of each week’s podcast will be the reading of a children’s book. This reading may be done by the author, by myself, or by another gifted storyteller/actor.(Anyone in the area who'd like to do a reading- let me know!) The podcast will be rounded out by book reviews, book recommendations, and music designed specifically for children.

The BookSailor target age range is 4-12. Most of today’s children’s programming is, in my opinion, appallingly designed to simply sell more licensed and branded toys. I want to give parents an engaging, exciting, and enlightening alternative for their children. While the booksailor web site will include links enabling visitors to purchase the books and CD’s that are highlighted in the podcast, we will also be regularly singing the praises of the public library system. (If this sounds a little familiar reading rainbow was a huge inspiration.)

If you would like your book or music to be considered for future BookSailor podcasts please send me a review copy of your work. I prefer a physical copy, but will accept digital submissions. Please contact me with whatever questions you might have at info@booksailor.com or mattmcdunnell@aol.com

Hi everyone. Hi Kathy..say hi to Laurie back for me. Where is she?
Anyway, I am currently 36 weeks pregnant/9months and counting. I can't wait to see her. I'm so excited.
I was dancing again, until the baby news. I plan on going back when she is born. I hope to also get back into theatre too. I say that now, when baby comes, who knows. lol.
Miss you all and hope everyone is well. I will email when she arrives! I'm due April 12th.

Yay for Mini-Monique! Let us know the moment she makes her world debut! So fantastic! Laurie was right there in Rockville, but was in the process of moving to South Carolina.

So just a few plugs... I finished shooting an episode of America's Most Wanted, so that may be on television someday. The case was pretty horrific, so I'll spare you the details, but I've got a link at www.katedanley.com if you want more info (I played the "Cathy" mentioned in the article).

Also, I'm performing every Friday night in the improvised soap opera "Scandal!" at the Acme Comedy Theater, for anyone is out here in LA. www.acmecomedy.com

Aaaaannnnnd finally, I founded a sketch comedy group called Hair of the Mangy Dog and we've been invited to perform at the LA Comedy Festival this May, which is pretty nifty. So if you're around in May, come check us out! www.hairofthemangydog.com

I think that is officially it...

She's here! Gabrielle Elyse. My beautiful baby girl! She arrived on April 4th at 3:37 a.m. after a long labor! She is perfect. Full head of brown hair and olive skin. I can't believe I'm a mom. Thought I'd share the good news.

  Hope everyone is well.

Monique, What fabulous news. Please send me a picture for the department office board.

Much love to your family

Jay

Jay, what is an email address to send you a pic too? Thanks for posting her. lol!

So I just filled out the accreditation survey, and it suggested I visit this board and share what I'm doing, so...

I'm still in NYC, working primarily as a freelance costume designer and wardrobe stylist. I split my time between "Late Night With Conan O'Brien," the Metropolitan Opera, and a variety of TV/print wardrobe styling projects. (I recently worked on a show for Comedy Central, and also had my work on the cover of Entertainment Weekly!) I do a bit of theatre design as well--the last thing was the off-off-Broadway premiere of a new play in which all of the characters were vegetables and plants (no kidding!)

If you're interested, my online portfolio is here:
http://www.becky-frey.com

Hope everyone is well!

monique, My email address is

jherzog@towson.edu

If you are an Alum.. Why else would you be here...
Please fill out the alumni survey at:

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=vY8o...LTPc2w5R2BnSg_3d_3d

We need this for our national accreditation.
  
Thanks

Hey everyone,

Good to see this thing is back up and running!! I miss it. I hope everyone is doing well. I've been busy getting my MFA in Directing from Florida State University. I start my third year in August. It has been a life long dream to get my MFA since my days at Towson. I'm not sure what is going to happen after, but I'm trying to just enjoy the ride now. I'm coming back to Maryland this summer to hang out until my semester starts in August. I'd love to connect with some of the old crew. Shout out to Conservatory- Fall 1995 (did I really write 1995...yikes!)

Love and Kisses

Okay, I thought I'd finally post on here, since there are so many LA-er's on here. I've got my own improv troupe out here: Weird On Top, and we're the resident comedy troupe of the Eclectic Company Theatre in NoHo. We'll be performing at El Cid in Hollywood August 27th at 9pm, we need at least 30 people there to get a regular gig so please help out. We're also in consideration for LA Comedy Festival.

Umm oh and September 4th in Venice Beach at the Cadillac Hotel Rooftop Theatre Company is having a Huge Fundraiser on the roof for a beach side Sunset and drinks.

Also just directed in a Playwright Festival at the Eclectic where Kim Burns and Ketryn Porter were also performing.

Oh and I've gotten into Radio Announcing and I air on KCLAFM.Com on the Kaleidoscope Radio Magazine, where I feature musicians I know or like or both, so if you want me to promote anything let me know.

For all the above info please visit my myspace page http://www.myspace.com/daniellecintron and link to either Rooftop or Weird On Top's pages for more info. For Radio stuff just send me a message.

I'll try to keep my page more updated, hope to hear from some of the LA-people

Dani

Congrats Dani! Could you add me to your email list: ianbelknap@gmail.com

I am going out on tour starting in Nov. for 7 months. I would love to connect when we come through town. Say hi to Ryan "Daunk a Daunk" Turner and every one else in LA.

Hey all,

Just wanted to pass along news that I will be appearing in as many as three Orioles commercials for MASN this season. It is part of their "Defining Moments" campaign. It should start airing very soon since baseball season is upon us and I signed a release for them to air it all season. One of them will just be me and there may be two others that I have one or two lines in. It was one of the most fun things I've ever done and can't wait to see it. Hope everyone is doing well. I'm on Facebook if you haven't added me yet, so please do add me and keep in touch! All the best for the rest of 2009!

Hey all you fellow Alums!

I just wanted to report from The Windy City that the Towson legacy will live on.

Lights Out Theatre Company is a brand new theatre company based in Chicago and will be opening its first play this July, Lights Out Theatre Company's One Night Stand, a night of short plays and one-acts including two world premiers written by Mary Rose O'Connor and R Alex Kliner.

LOTC is an ensemble of 8 fellow gradutes: Mary Rose O'Connor, R Alex Kliner, Emily Levin, Michael Carothers, Christopher Moore, Haily Wineland, Jessica Neilson, Jason Crutchfield, with friends Caitlin Fitzwater as our NY based web designer, Allison Ernst as our Baltimore based Graphic Designer, and DC based Eric Guerrero as our print designer.

Hey all, one of my commercials for the Orioles is currently online. Check it out at http://www.mymasn.com/video/video/show?id=2025894%3AVideo%3A9270

Gershon,

Great Commercial. I enjoyed seeing it.

Hi All,

I guess I can make a post. I am unfortunately out of the theatre business for a little bit. I was working as the PA with the Baltimore Opera Company, but as I'm sure you all know BOC filed for chapter 11 in November, and eventually chapter 7 and liquidated all of their assets. Now I am working downtown with the Oxford Club, an affiliate of Agora Financial. But hopefully at some point in the future, I'll be able to find my way back to the stage. Hope everyone is doing well.

I wound up in a very strange area of theatre: ticketing. I spent over 3 years at Arena Stage in DC (including winning the International Ticketing Association's 2009 Outstanding Box Office honor out of 23 countries and 1200 members). Then the Washington Nationals hired me on to do Ticket Operations for them, so here I am...in sports. I keep calling the afternoon games matinees! Let me know if anyone wants in for a game if you're in DC.

Still Stage Managing on the side, including being Tim Gunn's SM for a benefit last year, as well as doing DC Fringe for a second year in a row.

Hey TU folk,

Just wanted to pass along the good news that I will be starting graduate school at Ohio University in the fall, where I will be pursuing an MFA in playwriting.

I'm back in Bmore at the moment spending some time with my girlfriend before heading to OU in September (I spent an AWESOME and pretty theatrically successful year in Chicago last year for those who don't know). If you're around, I'd love to catch up!

Otherwise same ole same ole. Writing plays. Playin music. Workin office jobs. My play "SPLIT" will finally receive a reading in the Windy City this coming May at Route 66 theatre company. And I've got some other projects up my sleeve which will hopefully come to fruition soon. Until then, I'm just pluggin' away!

Hope to see some of you at the Alumni thinger tonight!
Ira

PS: Robert, Agora is awesome! I used to work at Pub Services.

Hi Everyone!

I finish my Master's this summer (in teaching). Teaching full time theatre (and English:( ) I have piloted the program at the High School (where theatre was non-existent until I arrived). We have done 2 shows with bare minimum essentials and that included our inaugural dinner theatre!:)

Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight!

Hello TU Fam,
I am currently in the process of publishing my first children’s book. It will be unleashed unto the world in the fall of 09…more details to come...As far as theatre, I am in the process of creating a afterschool theatre program with Riverside County Public Schools in CA. My hope is to have the program ready by the fall of 09 as well. I hope all is will with everyone and we all continue to CREATE!

Hey everybody!

Got hitched in September 2008. Completed the internship program at the Kennedy Center where I interned for Theater for Young Audiences, and am now the Program Assitant for American College Theater Festival. We just hosted the KCACTF National Festival a couple of weeks ago, which was an incredible experience. No dramaturgical projects right now, but doing some self-motivated research on whatever catches my fancy.

Definately happy and looking forward to what the future might bring. Hope you've all been well.

Sorry I missed the shindig last night! I'm hoping to make it back there for something official eventually. I got married last September 6th during Hurricane Hanna. More dramatic lighting than anything I've ever seen on stage. I am still with the Delaware Shakespeare Festival and was promoted from Production Manager to General Manager last fall. Please send me your resumes because I'd really like to give work to my fellow Towson grads. lauren@delshakes.org.
Best,
Lauren

Heylo all. Great to see familiar faces at the Alumni Night. My wife Brandi and I just celebrated our 2 year anniversary. We have also been chasing around our bouncing baby boy Logan. I am currently working with Economy Auto Rental in Towson Maryland. It pays the bills. By the end of the year, if not before, Brandi, Logan and I are moving down to Orlando Florida to take advantage of the Theatre scene there.
It is always good to hear good news and looks like there is a good amount posted here. :)

Hey all!

It was so fun to see you all the other night. I had a GREAT time! It was also nice to meet some new alumni who also reside in NYC! Well, as I gotto tell some of you the other night, I've been doing teaching artist work for Hudson Shakespeare Company as well as Shakespeare in the Valley. I've been doing text work as well as stage combat. I've also performed Regionally, Off-Off Bway, Off- Bway with two productions - one of which was the Strawberry One Act Fest (semi-finals). I've also done two World Premieres - FAT KIDS ON FIRE (Bianca) published by Penguin Press - and also nominated for the 2008 NYC Innovative Theater Awards and ALL THE WORLD'S A GRAVE (Guildenstern) - published by Penguin Press. Currently thinking about looking at the grad school option again, o maybe in the next year or two getting started on that route. So yes, again, great to see you all - my boyfriend thought you all were an amazingly connected group of people and he was thrilled to see me so happy and finallyput names to faces. Much love - Noelle Fair

Just wanted to say, "Hi!" to everyone.
After 3 years of living and teaching in Japan, I came home and started training to join the Marine Corps. Sadly, they have very few officer positions available, so I am now trying to go into the Army.

PS: Jay Herzog bullied me into posting an update! LOL! Hi Jay!

Hi, All--

Great to see so many people out and about working. I am finishing up a 7month long tour as the Staff Director for The Acting Company and Guthrie Theatre's national tour of Henry V and Jeffrey Hatcher's The Spy. I am headed up to Minneapolis to work on When We Are Married at the Guthrie this summer.

Noelle we'll have to get together when I am back in NYC.
Grail Congrats on the family life and good luck in Orlando.

Best, Ian B.

Hello, fellow TSU Theatre Alums. Just popped in to see what everyone's been doing for the past decade. It's hard to believe it's been so long!
I had an amazing homebirth experience in July of last year, which led me to change my nursing specialty and pursue a master's degree in midwifery. I am also working on developing a business advocating for women who want natural childbirth in a hospital setting. It's not as easy to achieve as you may imagine.
I live in Western NY now with my gorgeous, amazing, wonderful nine year-old boy, Ian Patrick and my almost one year-old daughter, MaryElise Kathleen.
I hope everyone is happy and healthy and being present in the moment.

Hey Fellow-Towsonites! Guess who's dipping her toes into the wide world of webseries? I'm producing this show and make my grand appearance as the "special costumed character" at the end. And then I make my real debut in the next one, which will be released September 9th. Check it out! Leave us a comment! And if you have a YouTube channel, we happily reciprocate all subscriptions.
