Robb's Story
Hi! I graduated from THS in '79. In my life I've been on stage in various venues across the Midwest (and America)...singing, playing guitar, acting...general 'performance arts'...for 43 years now. Beginning when my mom wrote a play for me to "star in" at four years old (at Sumner Elementary), which debuted before a PTA Carnival audience!! I peeked through the curtain before the show, saw the couple-hundred people, and panicked. I told mom "I can't do it!" Knowing the Leo pride (or, the 'ham') in me could be brought out--she quickly said "Well, take off your costume and we'll put it on your brother--he can go on for you!". Um---right! I mean, no way---THAT was MY role--and I'll do it! And the rest is, well---history (some of which is still in the making, I guess). I do love it...and growing up with a theatre mom was a good thing. My parents were very supportive of my...Expand for more
need to 'act out'. Dad bought me a FABULOUS 12-string Martin D-28 (for those who don't know, that's an INCREDIBLE guitar!) on my 16th birthday...still play it and love it to this day. I am happily single, but have hope to find my 'right person' someday. I own a great house with rental space above, a Barber Shop in the back (I'm a 27 year barber/stylist), and a newly created recording studio in the 'den' wing. I have two great Pug-mix dogs (Skippy, 11 years old and Maggie, who's 4). I get to New York as often as possible to see friends and Broadway shows (only 4 times so far...but I didn't start till a few years back---and it quickly became my favorite place on EARTH!) I love camping, making (and re-finishing older) furniture, learning new skills, and being around people. My BEST friends have come to my life through my theatre endeavors...thank God. So, that's me. :-)
