If anyone else knows of
other reunions and gatherings,
please email me and I'll post that information here. I will update this
site as new information comes in. There is discussion of a
possible West Coast reunion this fall. Please let me know if you are
interested in attending ... information will be posted here if it becomes
available.
2003 Reunions:
2 different organizations hosted our 20th Anniversary reunions. It is a good idea
to make sure both have your contact information for future events.

The School of Performing Arts
Association (a newly formed organization "for former faculty,
graduates and attendees of the SCHOOL OF PERFORMING ARTS 120 West 46th St.
NYC 1948-1984"), held their annual gathering April 4 – 6 at the old P.A.
building on West 46th Street. It was a terrific success and the
turnout for the Class of '83 was much better than expected due largely to
the amazing efforts of Anthony Liccardo (Music, '83). Anthony
deserves a HUGE hand and a major thank you for all the time and energy he
devoted to rounding up our classmates. Dozens of alumni gathered at
P.A. and at other venues over 3 consecutive days. An especially
memorable evening was enjoyed at HENRY'S restaurant, hosted by our
own Henry Rinehart (Drama, '83) in which many of us ate, drank and caught
up until the wee hours of the morning.
Most classmates attending these gatherings seemed
to have an extremely enjoyable time ... warm & fuzzy feelings were
abound as we caught up, reminisced and rekindled old friendships.
