| Northwestern alum Kate Shindle (grew up in New Jersey) was chosen 1998 Miss America... After graduating from Northwestern, she spent her fall waiting talbes in New York City. She's currently an understudy in the Broadway musical Jekyll & Hyde. Of her Broadway debut, the New York Post says "With just a two-hour rehearsal, Shindle went on for the first time. ... She received a standing ovation -- and a very public pat on the back from the show's director, Robin Phillips. ... During the curtain call, Phillips ran on stage, held up his hands to stop the applause and told the audience: 'Ladies and gentlemen, today a star has been born.'" At Northwestern she was in several student theatre productions, including City of Angels (a lead role), Gypsy (as a freshman), and several appearances in the annual student-written musical revue, the Waa-Mu Show -- she was one of three co-chairmen when she returns to Northwestern. She'll be finishing up a double major in theater and sociology. As Miss America, she used her platform to spread awareness of AIDS, especially HIV prevention.
