Patrick England, 1973

I graduated from Plymouth-Salem in 1973. I had parts in The Bad Seed (1971), Fiddler on the Roof (1971), The Man Who Came to Dinner(1972), and The Crucible (1973). I worked on sets, backstage, and as an usher for Bye, Bye, Birdie in 1972. I also participated in a performance of one-act plays and had Mrs. Logan (then Miss Belden) as an English teacher and for one or two acting classes. I consider the drama department under Gloria Logan's direction to be the best of my High School education. I am a United Methodist pastor and have been able to use lessons learned under Mrs. Logan's direction for a long time.

My wife and I have 3 children and a love for reading and drama has been passed on. Our oldest daughter lives in New York City and recently left a job with The Guiding Light soap opera. At age 27 she is married and now taking her first acting class. Our second daughter has a teaching degree with an emphasis in English. And, our son is a freshman at U of M planning to major in Film Studies.

Kelly Moore Quesnelle, 1999

As for me, when I left Plymouth-Canton in 1999, I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2003 with a B.S. in Cellular and Molecular Biology. I am just beginning work on my PhD at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. My husband, Andrew (who I met while at Michigan), is an attorney specializing in labor and employment litigation at Reed Smith LLP. While I didn’t stick with performing theatre myself, Andy & I love to attend the theatre in Pittsburgh, and the organizational and interpersonal skills I learned as a Park Player have been invaluable to me. I also forged lasting friendships with other Park Players including my best friend and the maid of honor at my wedding, Kelly Ryan.

Lincoln Moore, 2004

I am currently studying English at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. I am in the process of applying to the Hebrew University at Jerusalem to study there next semester. I play bass guitar in a band called judah that released an album this past spring called On Earth. We have travelled a little bit and been out as far as Topeka, KS. I am not quite sure about what I will be doing after college but I am considering options ranging from film school to some type of MBA program. That pretty much means that I have no idea what I am going to do. (11/06)

Keshia Oliver, 2004

As for where am I now, I'm living in Nashville,TN (aka Music City, aka the "third coast") and I like it a lot. I've been doing some demo work for a company, making money by singing songs that people write and send in to have put with music. I work part time at Target still, and just started working at the University of Phoenix- Nashville Campus, where I’m a student service coordinator (basically front desk and a lot of clerical/administrative work in the student services department) Its nice. My roommate and I have a really cute apartment in downtown Nashville right by Vanderbilt, and it’s a really good part of town to stay in. always something to do. (10/06)

Our next performance is December 7th at the Mendelsohn Theater. We also do a show in March called Dance Mix with all of the other dance groups on campus. It's a really fun show to attend and there are also past Park Players in other groups who perform in it as well. In addition, I am also a member of the sorority Pi Beta Phi. I love it here at Michigan but I will be glad when I graduate! : ) (11/06)

Ashleigh Rotondo, 2005

I am currently a sophomore at Marymount Manhattan College on the Upper East Side of New York City. I plan to graduate with my BA in Theater Performance with a concentration in Musical Theater in the spring of 2009. I am about to perform at the Christmas Tree lighting ceremony at The Groves in LA, singing “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” as a solute to the US Troupes overseas. The show will be broadcast on CBS (date TBA). At school I take dance classes five days a week as well as vocal lessons, acting classes and other performing arts classes. I have done a little bit of auditioning in the city, but nothing huge yet. Last year, I was part of a select ensemble which did a charity performance benefiting The Christopher Reeves Foundation. Right now, I am looking forward to auditioning for our school musical, Ragtime. Other than that I enjoy my time in the city hanging out with friends, seeing Broadway shows (lots of them with student discounts!) and shopping (maybe a little too much shopping…). I do miss The Gloria Logan Auditorium very much, all the memories made there were AMAZING and they are time I am not soon to forget!! (11/06)

I spent 2 and a half weeks in Fiji living with a village doing community service, we built a footpath for them. I've been in New Zealand since October 5 and I did some conservation work in the Christchurch area for a week, then I spent some time in Queenstown. The group I'm traveling with then went to the North Island and we did some leadership training at the Sir Edmund Hillary Outdoor Pursuit Centre and now I am heading to Australia. I will be interning with the Conservation Volunteers of Australia for some time and I will be coming home probably around the first week of December. I have applied to Emerson and Columbia Colleges in Boston and Chicago respectively, but I don't know if I've been accepted to either. I plan on studying Photojournalism at either one. (10/06)

Julie Greeseisen, 2006

Currently, I am at Bowling Green State University getting my BFA in Studio Art with a focus in painting and printmaking. My plans for the future include grad school, internships and eventually life in a box, but I'm optimistic. I'm still involved in the theatre, working as an Assistant Stage Manager for the Department of Theatre and Film at BGSU. It has been a great learning experience to say the least. Other activities include going on road trips across the country, writing magnetic haikus on my fridge and getting rid of bad roomates. (2/07)

Trevor Sponseller, 2006

Mr. Trevor Sponseller is currently an undergraduate in the Literature, Sciences, and the Arts program at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. His studies in Spanish language are going quite well, but he is still in search of a complementary concentration. At this point in his life, his only involvement with theatre is his part-time job at the award-winning University Musical Society box office. Trevor has taken up ballroom dancing, but has mixed feelings about it (he much prefers 'Box Step, Pivot Step, Grapevine!'). In addition, his wide array of scarves is coming along quite nicely. Trevor is excited to see what his road to happiness holds in store for him next. (11/06)
