Just a few notes from the ’08 class this issue, as people were off enjoying the summer (responsibly, no doubt) when the call for updates went out.

Josh Feder graduated with his M.F.A. in directing from the University of California, Irvine this past June, with all the craziness of online school and canceled theater productions. He spent the summer creating a new online theater program for the New London (New Hampshire) Barn Playhouse, and by the time you read this he hopes to have gotten married to Philip Montana, DMS’18, although the celebrations will have to wait for next year. Zach Nass married Jinting Xu on August 28 during an intimate ceremony in Malibu, California. Other ’08s who were supposed to be in attendance but were essentially uninvited thanks to Covid (awkward), include Brian Schwartz, Dan Belkin, Kelly Cockerill, and Klarissa Ruiz. Zach is also hoping they get a re-do chance to celebrate sometime next year.

Jon Hopper doesn’t have a lot going on, but writes in to say that Charlie Stoebe was officially fully funded for his Kickstarter campaign. Chuck created an incredibly fun card game called What Was the Question?, which will soon be available for widespread purchase! Congrats on the successful launch, Stobos!

That’s all for this round, folks. Congrats to Josh, Zach, Charlie! And congrats to you, dear reader, for staying informed about your classmates and the people in the classes one to three years before and after you. You make all of this worthwhile.
