Michael Querio ’87, executive artistic director at the Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre in Grand Lake, Colorado, recently hosted a gathering of alumni who have worked there and currently make their homes and careers in and around the Chicagoland area. About 50 people gathered at The Violet Hour, a cocktail lounge in Chicago, to have an evening’s celebration.

A group of IWU grads got together for a photo, including:  (left to right) Elizabeth Lanza ’07, Keely Vasquez ’94, Michael Querio ’87, Kyle Blair ’09, Erin Daly ’10, Zez Ready ’11.  All were involved in music and theatre at IWU, and currently are working in Chicagoland, except for Michael Querio ’87 who is the executive artistic director.
