Kelly Partner

I was involved in almost every show from 2002 through 2006, so shoot me an email! I'd love to hear from everyone!  I've been hopping around a few different schools, studying theatre at all of them of course, but I'll let you know when I settle down at one I like! HHS Drama was my life, and I wouldn't trade a single hour of it for anything else in the world. Keep rockin' guys!*

Adam Spalletta

I was in Guys and Dolls, Footloose, Rumors, Into the Woods, Fiddler on the Roof, Inherit the Wind, Godspell, Go Ask Alice, and Les Mis at Herndon High School. HHS Theatre was my salvation in High School and it defined me. Thanks!

Claire Goget

I graduated in 2003.

I'm studying Media Arts and Design at JMU with a Film Concentration. I studied in Northern India in Fall 05 when I trekked the Himalayas and got to invent and direct a ridiculous musical for about 45 orphans. Currently looking to do it all over again!

Hannah Ross

I've worked on several music videos, short films, and independent features. I'm also interning for a television production company that's launching the Go Network on cable. Who says getting a B in Theatre 4 will get you nowhere?!

Since graduating from HHS, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Design/Tech Theatre and Art History from Christopher Newport University in Newport News, VA.  I am currently working on my Master of Fine Arts degree in Scenic Design at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. I also work in the props and paint departments for Kansas City Repertory Theatre.

Justin Sadler

Kate Holdsworth

After my four years of Herndon High Theater, I moved to Amherst, Mass and attended the University of M. to pursue my other passion (Art History). I found that I couldn't stay away from the theater though---it called to me--the professional Valley Light Opera Company that is, where I served as stage manager (back to my roots ;) ) for two years and enjoyed my time watching professional touring opera stars and professors from the five colleges alike prance around in tights! Since then, I am sad to say, my life in the theater world has been on hiatus whilst I pursue yet another one of my dreams--teaching! For the past year, I have worked with special needs students incorporating art appreciation into their curriculum. I now reside in southern Vermont (very beautiful---mountain views, tall trees,and a babbling brook in the backyard----come visit!) with my boyfriend, Dan, and our golden retriever, Bailey. I miss my friends from HHS Drama days and would love to reconnect (especially Hetrick and Bear). Drop me an email and let me know what's new.

Katy Maguire

Settling into Cincinnati after graduating from the Conservatory of Music in 2004. I got a GREAT teaching job which allows me to pursue my one career goal - be the next Dana Van Slyke....although I think the task is impossible (who could be as wonderful as she is??) I'm working on it. So I sing all day long with 7th-12th graders. I've gotten back on the theatre stage for the first time since playing Audrey in LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS at HHS....this past summer ('05) I played Maria in THE SOUND OF MUSIC for a local community theater group and had the time of my life. I'm also vocal/music/assistant directing musicals at the school where I teach - THE PAJAMA GAME and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. Wondering how all the HHS Drama/Choir Alums are doing!

Chris Stuard

I was assistant lighting designer at HHS my sophomore year, and technical director my junior and senior years. I also worked for FCPS as a student employee in the HHS Theatre. I am now a Communication Studies major at Virginia Tech and have a minor in Theatre Production. Among the shows I worked on at HHS were "The Crucible" (Fall 1991 - Lighting Designer) and "Bye Bye Birdie" (Spring 1993 - Technical Director). Also while at HHS, I designed the lighting for the "Pride of Herndon" Band, HHS Chorus, and numerous shows for the Fashion Merchandising Department. Among my booth crew were Willie Slepecki (lighting and sound) and Dan Rockholt (sound).

Mary Supley

I graduated from Herndon in 1990 and am an alumna of both the drama and choir programs. Between 1987 and 1990, I was involved backstage and onstage in Guys and Dolls, A Christmas Carol, Little Shop of Horrors, You Can't Take It With You, and Grease. I was also in Madrigals and Show Choir.

Gregory M. Pfrommer

I was part of the drama club for 3 years mainly working technical positions. There is a picture of me in the 1986 year book if anyone is interested. I am currently a Lighting Designer/Programmer for a company called Light & Sound Design in Atlanta Ga. I have lost touch with everyone who was in the drama program @ HHS and hope this might bring some contacts to me.

Anthony (Tony) Downing

I worked on the Stage Crew for nearly every production from 1982—1985. Continued to work in theater at Penn State, though remaining backstage, and specializing in lighting. Traveled quite a bit, before settling in Purcellville. Would enjoy hearing from anyone from the old crew!

Michael Schlesinger

1982-1985

Performed in the Fantasticks (as Matt, with Kim Gardner - where are you Kim?), Mousetrap, Guys and Dolls, Pirates of Penzance with Chuck Stanley as the Major General, etc. Went to Interlochen same years, Pirates of Penzance (Pirate King), Wonderful Town (Robert Baker), South Pacific (Emile). In 1984, performed in Ford's Theater's A Christmas Carol - Mrs. King and Esther Daniels came!!!! That was the highlight of my career!

Continued to perform/music direct at Oberlin and beyond. Today, perform in the community (2000, 2001 was Bob Cratchit in McClean Community Center A Christmas Carol). Please come to fall Dominion Stage production of The Fantasticks (I'll be playing El Gallo) on October 24, 25, 30 and 31, November 1, 2003 at 8:00 pm (Matinees at 2:00 on Saturday October 25, Sunday October 26, and Saturday November 1, 2003) at Gunston Arts Center (2700 S.

Acted in "Mousetrap," "Guys & Dolls," & "The Fantastiks." Stage crew for "Effects of Gamma Rays . . ." Appeared in two one-act plays for Fairfax County Short Play Festival (wrote and directed one of them). Member of award-winning improv team -- Herndon won so many times, I heard they later stopped inviting us. Living in North Carolina, drop me an e-mail.

Jennifer Walker (Jeni Stover)

I was a member of Drama Club from 1980-1984 mostly from the technical side. I did Set Crew for 2 years, Asst. Stage Mgr. junior year, and Stage Manager senior year which included all the lighting and sound. It was definitely some of my best high school memories - what a blast! Big Hey to all the old gang: Kim, Tom, Ian and Paul.

Maria Holderness (Mia Stover)

My name is Maria Holderness (aka Mia Stover) & I was involved in just about every production HHS did from 1979 to 1983. Believe it or not, I actually moved back to Herndon about 5 years ago & I work in Tysons Corner. Unfortunately I lost touch with almost everyone from those days. Would love to hear from the old gang of wonderful people I had the pleasure of working with while I was there (Leslie, Tom, Kurt, Beth, Matt, just to name a few)!

 Hope the newest generation of HHS Drama buddies are still going strong!

Chuck Stanley

I did theatre all four years at Herndon High and would love to find some old cast mates. I am currently working in theatre, acting and costume designing. This year I co-designed an off-Broadway production of "Hair" and had a great time. "Is Miss Daniels still alive?" is the big question with me. I have heard both about her and Ms. King.

Robert Kennedy

I had featured roles in the following shows:

The Curious Savage, Bye Bye Birdie, Isn't That Amazing/The Show, and Oklahoma!

Mitch Townley

Appeared in Our Town, Guys & Dolls, The Boyfriend, and Blythe Spirit at HHS.

I appeared in “Fiddler on the Roof," “Our Town," “Guys and Dolls," and an original children’s show that we took to various local elementary schools. I’m very active in local community theatre and would love to hook up with some of my friends from “the old days."
