Marsi Latimer I've been in the broadcasting business ever since graduating from SDSU in 1994, working as a television news anchor/reporter in several different markets. I've been a radio traffic reporter since moving back to SD in 2000, heard on 15 different radio stations locally. Maiden Name: Mitrovich (back in my JT days)... See you on the Radio! :)
Beverly Meyer Neeland I recently moved back to San Diego and I opened Hello Curls Salon, an eco-friendly green salon dedicated to naturally curly haired clients.

I would love the opportunity to get some wig gigs here in San Diego.

Last August through October, I was the Music Intern for SAMMY (a world premiere musical) at the Old Globe. In December, I returned to the Old Globe again to be the Music Intern for the new Duncan Sheik and Kyle Jarrow musical WHISPER HOUSE. Currently, I am assisting Kim Strassburger with dramaturgy for SW...EENEY TODD at Cygnet. Ironically enough, the last summer I directed a new one act by fellow JT alumni Kevin Six for the New Perspectives Festival.
Hope everyone is well!
Bryant Chicloso Hernandez Everybody seems that they are doing such wonderful work. I really do miss teaching and directing at SDJT. I just finished directing Hamlet and now getting ready to direct, Lips Together Teeth Apart, with such a wonderful cast at UNCSA..
Steve Multer Hey fellow JTers! First off, I'm blown away by the incredible projects this group is putting into the world - kudos and great fortunes to all. From our end, Karen and I continue to see music placement in the A&R sector for our original trax, most recently the season opener for Big Love on HBO. We're hard at work on ...our first original musical with hopes for initial table readings and promo in Fall 2010. Despite the economy we're still gratefully pounding away in the corporate theatre arena. And we just got a pre-press copy of a 3-disc release by Sony/BMG called In Love With Jazz that includes three of our band's songs. Good times. And a great 2010 ahead for all of you - bravo JT! and thanks as always for keeping us all sharing LPP.
Heather De Sisto Filmed a short that will be submitted to Sundance next fall (starring Jason Alexander) and am currently planning my wedding!
Ashley Merryman I'm continuing to travel around the country, doing events and media for my book, NurtureShock – so far, NY, DC, VA, MD, GA, OR (Coast), WA and CA (LA & SF) - if any of those apply to you, please check out our FB fan page for the full event list and please come!
