Sounds like ’08s are up to lots of interesting things around the world!


Congratulations to Mike Trapp and Laura Cherkas, who got engaged in January! They are living in the New York City area and both started new jobs recently as well. Laura is working for HarperCollins Publishers and Mike just joined the editorial team at CollegeHumor.com. He also writes for a weekly sketch show at the UCB Theater in Manhattan.

He also is choreographing Beauty and the Beast for a high school in Connecticut, developing a new musical and preparing for his fifth summer at the New London Barn Playhouse up in New Hampshire.
