A year after high school I moved to New York City to pursue acting and to become a famous Broadway star!
After many auditions, including two really great experiences auditioning for the lead in Hairspray
and Rent, I decided to take a break. That is when I met and fell in love, with my now husband, Seann.
We were married Janurary of 2004. Since I was so driven to be a actress for so long I had neglected
my studies. Now I am a little older and wiser, so I have decided to put my artistic abilities to use
and enroll in an art school where I can study animation and graphic design. Although I have been
accepted to one of the top art and design schools in New York, I decided that California is my home
and my husband and I will be returning in June so we can start to build a life together and so I
can pursue my education. Although I am little behind my former fellow classmates, I am excited to start
school and see where it will take me.
Theatre will always be my first love and I vow to one day return to it and become successful. Who
knows one day you might see me on the big screen afterall! I have kept in touch with a few Theatoros
over the years, but I miss the wacky days of Drama Class. I am very happy to see the progress that has
been made in the Theatre Department and I think Mr. Blackley has done a wonderful job! Break a leg to
Theatoros old and new!

Just now going back to school. I've been married for almost three yrs to one of our countries fine men in uniform. I have the pleasure of traveling around the country and world. I currently live in Md.

After El Toro, I attended UCLA where I received a BA in Design | Media Arts with a Music History minor. I still live in Los Angeles with my boyfriend of 8 years and work for an Internet marketing company as a department head. I hope to start taking up lessons and classes again and maybe start going on some community theatre auditions or open calls up here as I really miss acting and singing. I'd love to hear from other ETHS Thespians. You can find me on Facebook or Myspace.
2003
I am currently finishing up my last year at UCLA, getting a BA in Design | Media Arts. I work for a .com family
/ media related website, and also do freelance web / graphic design work when I am not busy with school.
Unfortunately for me, school has kind of placed theater and singing on the way-back burner for me; there really
has been no time between studying and working to afford expensive west los angeles! So, I have not been in
any productions since I left El Toro, though I have tried to keep up with vocal coaching. My plan is that
once I graduate I will have time and freedom to pursue acting on my own while having a job to support my
efforts! I would really love to keep in touch with some of the alumni or students who might remember
me - I have been around design students too long and need some drama people to spark my love for the craft again!!

I haven't been up to much but I have grown up a lot. I joined the Marines and was in for about a year till
I was kicked out cause they found out that I have an irregular heart that causes me to have seizures. I am
now working as a security guard in Irvine Cali. Yes I am still in Cali until December, when I'm moving to
Porterville. I haven't been going to school and I haven't been doing Tech as much as I want to be.
I am going
to be going back to school though as of Fall 2004. I know what I want to do with my life and I think its time
to be where I should be. It seems like everyone is doing so well with there lives. I think its my turn to have
the happiness that everyone once told me I would have. Tiffany, Surtata, Izzy, and everyone I really miss you
and I have seen you guys all grow up so much and I am happy that I was and am still apart of all your lives.
You know if you ever need a techie that will drop everything in a second to be a part of that family again
it would be me.
I still wear my tech shirt and I still carry all my safety pins cause I know there is always
someone out there who needs one. I really haven't changed a bit and I know you all would not have wanted me to.
I hope we will all be a part of the family we once had but if not which I am sure won't happen you all
have a place in my heart and I will never forget the memories we all had. I really will never forget the
swing dancing before show started for good luck, the time I had to be stage manager and you believed in me
more then anyone in the world, the techie fest that scared a few off, and just all the fun we ever had.
I know the few that read this can remember this "How to Succeed in Business" lives on in my heart
and a few of the others of you forever. I love you and miss you lots. Please email me or anything let me know
how life is treating you all.
Love always,
Rose Brooks aka
Jello, Eddie, Clyde, #1 techie and etc......

After graduating El Toro I attended Sonoma State University in Northern California for 2 years. I then got
married and moved with my military husband to Arizona. We lived there for a little over a year and I attended
Scottsdale Culinary Institute. Then in November 2004, Kristi Ure from the class of 2002 died in a car crash.
I still think about it almost everyday. In January 2005 my husband and I were transferred to Anchorage, Alaska.
Because we have 2 dogs and a rabbit we decided to drive all the way from Cali (where we spent the holidays with
our families) to Alaska. In parts of Alaska and The Yukon the temperatures were 60 below zero. Alaska has been a
new and interesting experience. The summers are crazy with about 21 hours of sun a day, with the complete opposite
during winter. It is a little hard to get used to. Anchorage is just like any regular city with a lot of homeless
people, stop lights, and sucky drivers. I am currently 5 months pregnant.
It's been an absolute miserable pregnancy. I am due in February and in April I will be visiting Cali for a
month with my new baby because of a friends wedding. Then hopefully in 2009, when my husband gets out of the
Air Force, we will move back down to either Arizona or Colorado. Who knows, if we can we may even move back to
OC so he can work at John Wayne when it becomes an international airport. That's enough news for now.

This autumn finds me back in California and, for the first time in seventeen years, not buying school
supplies. In May I completed my degrees and am looking forward to putting my education and ambition to
some good use. I have decided to continue in the direction of theatre education and applied theatre. I will
be Stateside for a calendar year testing the waters before grad school.

I am currently a sophomore at Carnegie Mellon University, majoring in Drama (emphasis in Stage
management). I am about to open (tomorrow) my first show of the year. A comedy called Sly Fox based on
Jonson's Volpone. I am the first Assistant Stage Manager. This week is also final project week, and final
critiques/reviews are the week after thanksgiving. I am taking 9 classes, including my first Stage Management
one! Last summer I had my first paying job at home in Lake Forest in the Showboaters production of Brigadoon.
I was the Stage Manager. I will be returning home for Winter break, back to the warm weather of California.
Being in Pittsburgh is a lot different. I plan on spending part of the summer interning on the east coast,
and part of it in California. I hope that everyone is doing well, and commend the new website. It looks
great, though I fear that I miss some of the names on the old one. I hope that everything is doing well
out there in Cali, and hope to see familiar faces come December.
Thanks

I have been perfecting awesomeness since graduation. Also, I got my AA (yes, I once had an alcohol problem) from Saddleback in "general studies." I have done a few community theater productions here and there and was part of an improv group for a little while. I mainly work now as a nanny for an incredible family of 4 year old triplets. (shout out to my girls!) I have a super cool boyfriend, rad house with my BFFs and a really awesome life! I would love to get an e-mail from anyone anytime soon. Please be my friend, I'm not a bitch anymore.

I'm currently attending Whittier College as a freshman. I plan on majoring in child development.
I like monkeys and Peter Pan. I will be performing in the Vagina Monologues soon!
2.22.2007
I am now a Junior at Whittier College. I am majoring in Child Development, with a minor in Elementary Education, in hopes to become an elementary school teacher. I am heavily involved on campus and I love every moment of it. I pledged my sophmore year into a society, which is like a soriority and I love being part of something so spectacular. I am currently a Residential Advisor for upper class residents. I also work in the admissions office, so if any of you high schoolers are interested in Whitter you should get in touch with me. Over my winter break in late December I went to New Orleans with people from school and helped gut houses and it was so rewarding. So I've been doing great, hope you all are too.

I just finished my first year of graduate school at Whittier College (where I also did my undergraduate work) I'm currently getting my credentials and masters in Education. I hope to teach elementary school, preferably in Southern Orange County, maybe even in SVUSD, if I can get a job. I am also interested in getting my special education credential, so I can teach children with mild to moderate disabilities.
6.16.2004
I just finished my first year at UCSB and am home until August 28th, when I will go back up to Santa Barbara
for Resident Assistant (RA) training. I'm really excited to be serving as an RA next year, and am really
looking forward to planning events and all that fun stuff. I will also be serving as Co-Chair of Take
Back the Night, an organization dedicated to raising awareness about sexual assault, and I will
probably end up getting involved in a bunch of other activities. I wish everyone at El Toro and
all the graduates the best of luck, and feel free to contact me if you want to visit sunny Santa
Barbara!

Right after high school I moved up north to San Francisco to attend SF State. I love this school and the
theatre here is so great. I've learned so much in the past few months in my acting class. San Fran is
a great city, though I do miss everyone from back at home, especially my family and boyfriend. Altogether
though, life is pretty great :)
11.04.2006
Well, today for lunch I had a chicken sandwich, with some fries. It was pretty good. A few of us went to BJs.
HAHAHA. JK. Well not really. I go to Chapman, it pretty much rocks. The theatre department is pretty
intense. No more naps in class, dang. I auditioned for one show..but didn't make it. Its cool though,
if anyone knows of any shows with open auditions coming up...lemme know. Alright. Contact me anyways. I
miss (some of) you! <3

Since the day i put on that blue gown in 05 (seems like forever ago) I attended fullerton college and did some shows with their theatre department until I moved to washington. There I got married to a fellow Drama alumni Kristopher Urban in april of 06. kris is in the Army and a few months after we were married we were sent to live in Germany for three years. I loved it! We had our son there his name is Kyler and he will now be 3 in january. He looks just like his dad! In germany I bar-tended, as well as being a stage manager for a theatre. I loved it! Kris was deployed for a year and a half of the three years being in germany so the stage managing really helped....our son was even in his first show at that theatre. We just got stationed in Kansas now. we missed the states but miss germany. Now I work for the Army in a after school program called SAS (school age services) I teach...you guessed it...Theatre! In my spare time my little family enjoy exploring kansas since its so new to us, and we are also planning a wedding for next June. We got married in a court house so now we are back in the states its time to have a wedding to celebrate with family and friends. we are getting married in an old 18 hundreds opera house! Life is good! Keep up the good work B-Dog! and break a leg drama students! follow your passions!

I got to chill for a bit afterward high school. I got picked up to do some plus size modeling for a
little known designer in San Pedro, California. I'm am also up to do some modeling for Torrid which

any theater classes and I'm very sad. Anyways, if there is anything else you guys wanna know or if
you would like to talk to me all the info is here!

Since graduation I was in Anything Goes over the summer at Fullerton College and then got a job as a
Hostess at Black Angus. In the fall I started college at Fullerton and I like it a lot, its a good
school for people in theatre. I recently got off winter break and i'm back working in the mornings
anyday but mondays and wednesdays, because I go to school those days. In my off time I like to do
photography or just hang out with friends. Something new and exciting in my life.... I have recently
scheduled an audition for the American Musical and Dramatics Academy in New York! So this semester at
Fullerton is dedicated to preparing for my audition in May. If you'd like to talk more, my email is
available and I can give you my screen name through there, if you'd like. Good Luck to everyone this
year, if you love theatre, persue it, cause we are a small community in the business world and the
passionate people need to keep it going.

I have been working with my show COMPLETE HISTORY OF AMERICA. With two of my best friends
David Miller and Roman Garcia. With many of El Toro's drama kids helping. I got to see Civic Center's
Phantom Toll Booth and I can say even though it kicks El Toro's budget it couldnt beat the talent
of its actors. Go El Toro Drama. Anyway Sept 26-28 I went on a road trip to San Francisco to see
my show done by the guys who did it first. And one thing I did since graduation I saved for last.
7.22.2005
I signed up for the United States Army Airborne Rangers. I ship out Sept 19 one day after my show closes.

Oh, gosh. I can't believe it's almost been four years since I left ETHS. Feels like yesterday, feels like a life time.
Directly after high school, I did not get married (as planned), as a family emergency required the postponement of that sort of thing. The fiance and I lived together for a bit over two years before we finally tied the knot (November 23, 2007). I've had several jobs (have been laid off three times in the past two years), acted in two shows (Arsenic and Old Lace as well as The Importance of Being Earnest - I played Miss Prism!), and took a few classes at Saddleback.
Currently, I've gone a bit insane with pointy sticks and string (knitting), and will soon be launching an online business selling hand dyed sock yarn (there's a huge market for it, believe it or not ^_^). Hubby and I in the process of relocating to North Carolina (he's currently there working and basically setting up home, while I'm still here in OC), where we hope to spend the rest of our lives and make babies; my plan is to be a stay at home mom and continue with the yarn dyeing. I also want to raise sheep.

It's been almost 4 years since graduation and in a state of nostalgia I stumbled across this website so I figured I'd put in my two cents. I will be graduating December of 2010 from Sonoma State University with my bachelors in English with a concentration in secondary education. The journey has been rough, stressful and busy but the best thing that ever happened to me. I have been living in the beautiful wine country for almost 4 years and I NEVER want to leave. For the past 3 years I committed my soul to work for mall retail at Bath and Body Works and I can't wait to leave and get into the classroom! Theater has not left my soul, as I continue to be a patron of the arts!

After high school I went to Cal State University Long beach not knowing exactly what I was going to major in. I LOVE the school, and found an amazing club on campus (which is a community service club) and met alot of new people. I am about to start my fourth semester, and finally decided on a major (Occupational Therapy), only to discover that CSULB does not offer it, and the only cal state that does is San Jose. So, I might be going to San Jose State a year from now, but who knows what will happen.
Other than school, I FINALLY left Anchor Blue and now work as a teller at Wells Fargo, which I love. That's about it. I'll update everyone if things get exciting :)

Now i am going to Goldenwest College for cosmetology still. Will be graduating in about a year. I hope to get right into a salon and start assisting and working. However my career dream is to get on a set or show somewhere and do hair and make up for either theatre, tv or movies. :) That is all! I am happy with my life and love what i am doing!
