<p>Hi all - </p>
<p>I believe Dr. John has mentioned this young woman, Mandy Bruno, before - but I thought you’d all enjoy reading this cool article that was in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette today. :)</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06155/695001-325.stm[/url]”>http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06155/695001-325.stm</a></p>
<p>Thanks, Coach! I hadn't seen this. Our faculty, students and alumni will enjoy it very much!</p>
<p>Thanks for the link, CoachC!! Wow. Mandy's playing opposite Brad Little -- I was just in a show w/ his sister! My, what a small musical theatre world this is.
I am half-tempted to take a road trip out to Pittsburgh, now! That production of "B&B" should be incredible!</p>
<p>I thought I'd bump this up, since we've just had a round of good news:</p>
<p>Dan Knechtges (OC '94), who choreographed Putnam County Spelling Bee last season, has just been hired to choreograph 110 in the Shade, starring Audra McDonald.</p>
<p>Lindsey Powell (OC '06) has just been cast as Chava in a production of Fiddler at Wisconsin's Fireside Theatre.</p>
<p>...and...</p>
<p>Daniel Everidge (also OC '06) was just offered the role of Roger in the upcoming Broadway production of Grease.</p>
<p>It's going to be a happy Thanksgiving in Ohio. (Doesn't hurt that the Buckeyes won, either.)</p>
<p>Some more exciting news for Mandy Bruno: <a href="http://www.soaps.com/guidinglight/news/717/GLs_Mandy_Bruno_Goes_to_Broadway%5B/url%5D">http://www.soaps.com/guidinglight/news/717/GLs_Mandy_Bruno_Goes_to_Broadway</a></p>
<p>I am not a regular reader of soaps.com ...I just have a Google alert set for Otterbein, and this came up.</p>
<p>Wow, thanks Mezzomom for posting this! OK, I admit it, I do watch GL when I home! ;) How exciting for Mandy and OC, wooHoo! I noticed in the article it said she graduated with a BA, so I would take that to mean she was not in the musical theatre program?! </p>
<p>BTW, how do you set up a Google alert?</p>
<p>NanE, I've never watched GL...if I did, how could I spend all my spare time on CC? :D</p>
<p>To set up a Google alert, go to <a href="http://www.google.com%5B/url%5D">http://www.google.com</a> . Under the search box is a link that says, "About Google." Click on that, and then click on "Google Services and Tools"; at the top of the page that comes up will be the link for "alerts"; from there, it's just a simple matter of completing the information they request. </p>
<p>I've been a bit disappointed in the alerts for Otterbein; they're mostly sports scores and team information (if my daughter were a jock, I'm sure I'd feel differently!) But it does give an idea of what Otterbein news is making the rounds. I also read the Tan and Cardinal online every week; once I'm at my home computer, I'll provide that link too.</p>
<p>She actually was in the BFA musical theatre program. (I graduated a couple years behind her and just found this thread because I googled myself. :-))</p>
<p>Thanks for sharing the aritcles were great. I have set up the google alerts thanks to mezzomom.</p>
<p>I set up Google alert too! I can't believe I never knew you could do that!</p>
<p>And thanks OCgrad06 for the info on Mandy, I thought that might be the case.</p>
