We are looking to have updates from our Theatre Company and Auditorium Staff alumni.

Please send in pictures, current activities, college, post college career, marriages, births, or other life events. Please include your year of graduation (so I do not have to look it up).

I hope to make this page a place where you can reunite and even "brag" a bit about yourself and your accomplishments.

Send pictures, info, and current contact info if desired to:
