Hey, Billy and Colleen! Wow, I can't believe you are all still out there doing so well. This is Tanya (Harris) Roundy--From the 1994-5 Into the Woods and chorus line year. It's hard to believe it has been that long. Anyway, we are here in Manti Utah, I'm teaching English and Drama and our six children aren't so little anymore. I ran into Varlo Davenport Billy. He remembered you very well and it was fun to work with him in St. George. I directed Seussical and I"m working on Taming of the Shrew with my middle school students and we are having alot of fun. If there is anyone else out there that remembers me feel free to drop me a line. we'd all love to hear from you. Take care.Love you all.T

Hi Kristina. Yes, of course I remember you. I think I also had your brother in a show too.
I'm glad things are going well for you. Keep on blogging! Billy

wuz-up!

Hey Aja and Torrelli!
Aja! Yep I really love teaching. Most of the work that I get is in the vocal music department, which is my favorite. The interesting thing is that I have a BA in history, and I never get any work in the history department here in Cody. My plan is to be an educator after I get my MA in history. I want to teach history on the college level. There are so few professors who actually teach American History the way that it should be taught, so I hope to be a bit more fair as far as that goes. I think that our country's history is really cool and I can't stand these idiots who constantly blame America for everything. To listen to some professors, you would think that the world didn't have any problems at all until America came into existance and then things just went to heck-in-a-handbasket! I think that some more professors of the "America is cool" crowd are needed and I plan to add myself to those ranks. Not that I think America is always perfect, but our history is cool and people should be proud of it! Ok-ok I'm done with my rant. But I plan on teaching American History at a college. Oh-well. I do hear from Justin pretty regularly. He and I are still best friends. Justin got married in June of 2001 (although you probably know that right?) and he and Lara lived in Moscow Idaho for a while and went to school. Justin got his BA in psychology and he is a counselor for a company in Idaho Falls. He and Lara just bought their first house recently and I am going to go over and visit for a week this coming May. He is pretty successful and happy and is now working on an MA in psychology.
Torrelli!
good to hear from ya'! Catching you up on my last six years doesn't take much time. Most of it has been spent going to college in one place or another. After WWC I planned on taking a year at Northwest College near where I live, and getting a surgery done on my jaw, and then going to a University to earn a BA in musical theatre. Life throws unexpected things at you sometimes and I ended up having a more serious problem with my jaw (a lot of bone loss in the joint) which necessitated a change in career plans. I became a history major and got an AA in history from Northwest collge, and then spent a semester in Utah at Weber State. That didn't work out so I transferred to UW and graduated with my BA in December 2005. I was pretty burned-out on college, so I decided to take a year and a half off and pay off my student debt and work. The student debt is all paid off now, and I am ready to get back to college! That's my life for the last six years. Now you're all caught-up! I do some theatre productions with the community here and there, but nothing too involved. I limit my singing and acting for my jaw problem but I can still play smaller parts or even a medium sized part here and there and I sometimes do a little singing in small ammounts so that I can handle it. I am not married and do not have any current plans (or opportunities) for moving in that direction. Life is pretty good!
Billy!
I think that the other picture you were asking about is Christina Gordon who went by the nick-name of "Ty". I never really knew her that well since she was only in Pippin and never did any other shows with us.
Well, I have talked enough about my life and now everybody knows what I have been up to. Blog at y'all later.
Miles.

Hi Aja! Did you know our husbands work together? Well as together as it gets since yours works in Pinedale and mine works in Rock Springs. I don't know how much you hear about work stuff from him, but I hear a lot. So is it fun living in Fontenelle? I can't imagine it haha.

Yes, the Kristina that has been posting is Kristina Robertson (Kristina Mallan for five years now)...holy cow someone remembers me :) How is it going Billy, long time no talk!

Hi Aja, Yes I knew the one picture was Kristina Robertson, I had thought the other person was a Kristina too. But Someone told me that the other person's name was Tye. So, is Kristina Robertson the Kristina that bloged from Rock Springs? Billy

old friends

Miles! Wow! I can't believe it's you! Living in Cody, huh? It's funny, I was only at UW one semester and you graduated the semester that I was there! If I'd have known you were there...Do you like teaching? Good luck on your masters. I don't know when I'm going to try for mine yet. Billy, the first picture going down is Kristina! Hi Kristina! How are you? It's so good to hear from everyone! Billy, tell Colleen that I said hello! Miles, do you know how Justin's been?

Aja

or this person?

Are you one of these two people?

I was Torrelli

Yes Miles I was Torrelli! Gosh I miss you guys! Life was so much simpler back then. You will have to catch me up on the last six years, holy crap we are getting old! My last post pretty much sums me all up.

My Top 3

Kristina:
Are you the same Kristina who was also known as "Torrelli" by Justin Zierke and Miles Mathews in 1998-2001? I so, cool, and if not, that's cool too! Welcome to the blog!
Miles.

Hi everyone

Hey ya'll Kristina here. Don't know if anyone will remember me, but I might be surprised. I am still living in Rock Springs. I am married with a four year old and seven month old. I am currently a stay at home mom after my lay off as a legal secretary. I got my Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice from University of Wyoming Outreach, tried Laramie for a semester, but didn't like it, so finished in Rock Springs and have been here ever since. Well I would love to catch up with everyone, so keep posting!

Anyone slightly interested in how all this crazy internet technology is affecting our daily lives (and more importantly, how we affect it) should watch this:

It was done by an anthropology professot here at Kansas State. Some of it is kind of techno-babble, but it's worth 5 minutes of your time.

Howdy everybody!
I don't have much in the way of new things to blog about but I thought that I'd chime in anyway. Since graduating from University of Wyoming in December of 2005 with my BA in history I have been working as a substitute teacher in Cody Wyoming and earning a little money. I have gotten all of my student debt paid off and will be leaving to start work on a master's degree in the fall. I figured that I needed a break and wanted to pay off all of my student debt before creating more at grad school. I am still involved in a local theatre production here and there but nothing too fancy or time consuming. I can't wait to get going on the MA degree and finally be finished with school and MAKE money instead of only SPEND it all of the time! Congrats on the new kids Randi and Beef! I talk to Michael Velasquez pretty often but have been unable to get him to blog. So Aja....you're a teacher too huh! Cool! I would like to get down to Rock Springs for DDT this year Lisa and see some old friends. I will try but no promises. Blog at everybody later!
Miles.

UnHoly Crap!

Hello, all. Greetings from the mountains of Wyo.
Sorry to not blog for a while, the change freaked me out. Now I am unfreaked. Just returned from RMTA in Gunnison, Colorado. Our wild and crazy show was well received, and one of our actresses won the Best Community Theatre Acting Competition, and her partner won the Best Partner Award. Our tiny theatre company has become well liked and respected by the RMTA community. Something has gone seriously wrong with RMTA, I think, to choose we lunatics two years in a row. Next year Denver. Saw some old faces, they miss the old Western crowd. And we all miss Colleen's choreography. Saw a production of the Robber Bridegroom, not bad, no banjo, which was strange.
Great to see some new faces. John Vitullo, wow. I just directed The Girl in the Freudian Slip. Holy flashbacks batman! Those who haven't had the chance, you can see what I am up to on myspace, as well as a couple of Westerners too old for Zach to know... www.myspace.com/spotteddogcreations For all of those near the Laramie area (incl Cheyenne and Fort Collins) if you are aching for some old fashion style theatre get in touch with me, we have commuters and a gas stipend. And now our theatre has puppets... Puppets who drink beer!
Best wishes to all..... Bliss

Why John Vittulo, you old dog. Last I had heard you had moved to New York.

Are you still there? Billy

I have never BLOGGED before...

At least not in public! Greetings everyone. Other than Billy, I am sure to be the oldest living person on here. Anyone alive in the 80's? Ah the good old days when WWC had no theatre and had to perform at the Holiday Inn while people ate delicious hotel food. I wouldn't have changed a thing!
