The UArts class of 2008 has officially graduated, and I am on my way to start my life and career in New York City with another classmate! We’re still unsure of where we’re going to live permanently, but we’ll be crashing at a friend of the family’s in Flushing until we find a place.

I hope that for those of you I’ve corresponded with that I’ve been of help. To those of you who sent me e-mails that I haven’t returned, I am very sorry. As I’m sure you know, it is a major that requires a lot of time and energy, and some days are more stressful than others and e-mails get put on the backburner. Again, I’m very sorry.

I just wanted to say thank you for the past few years and give you a short update as to what some of the recent alums are up to.

Alumni from the class of '08 will be featured in the upcoming productions or seasons:


BroadwayAsia tour of CINDERELLA with Lea Salonga, which will tour all over Asia and features a cast recording
Nick Jr.‘s national tour of GO, DIEGO, GO LIVE! (alum has been on tour for the past semester)
Wildwood Productions’ national tour of ALTAR BOYZ
1812 Productions’ THIS IS THE WEEK THAT IS
Mac-Hadyn’s Summerstock season
Forestburgh Playhouse’s Summerstock season
Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre’s Summerstock season
Surflight Theater’s Summerstock season


Other really cool things that UArts alumni have coming their way:


plays they’ve written being produced in the Philadelphia Fringe Festival
going to graduate school at Emerson College
going to stunt school in Seattle
traveling to Europe for a month
writing songs for their band/comedy act “The Rickety Stares”
helping out with the UArts summer program
working and making lots of bank in retail or various other jobs
moving to their respective homes in one of the New York boroughs, New Jersey, Los Angeles or with their parents


All in all, I am very proud of our entire class, and I hope that all of you who are currently at UArts, are matriculating this fall, or are considering applying look to our class and the classes before and after us for guidance and help.

Thanks to all of you who’ve made me feel like I know something about something! :)
