A quick note about some local guys who have gone off to bigger and better things:Thanks, Stephen! It's great to hear the progress of the young performers who got their start on a local stage.
Owen Reynolds, who played Will Parker in this summer's Oklahoma, and skimbleshanks in Cats, is just finishing his first college production. He is at Wooster, where they are doing Cabaret. Owen was cast as Fritz in the very small but talented cast, and was also the understudy for the Emcee, which is unheard of for an incoming freshmen. I'm hearing great things from some friends who went to see him tonight in the understudy show.
Nick Husted, who has appeared locally in the Good Doctor, Oklahoma, and 1776, has recently been cast as Gonzalo in The Tempest at the University of Kentucky. Also, a huge accomplishment for a first year student in their program.
Thought you may be interested in the progress of a couple of our own.
There are quite a few other graduates studying theatre in college (and doing quite well, thank you), including Emily Asbury, Laura LaCara, Michael Moore, Evan Price, Chuck Herndon and many others.
Updates are welcome and encouraged!

Emily Asbury is currently in the ensemble of "Urinetown" at Otterbein College. She will be playing the part of the Governor's wife and many other characters in Bertolt Brecht's "The Caucasian Chalk Circle" this February.
Emily was also wonderful this summer as the Baker's Wife in "Into The Woods" for the Columbus Children's Theatre. Aw heck, she's never been less than wonderful in any of the dozens and dozens of roles she's played - she's a natural! Thanks for the update, Jill!
Michael Moore is playing the part of Lysander in the Shakespeare classic "A Midsummer Night's Dream" this February at Northern Illinois University (Go Huskies).
Evan, that's great - "Midsummer" is one of my all-time favorite Shakespeare plays! I'd love to tackle it one of these days! Congratulations to Michael, a terrific actor and a veteran of Huntington's First Stage Theatre!
