First off, this site is unofficial which means that I get to do whatever I want with it, without having to answer to anyone. *evil laugh* ;) Seriously, it means that I cannot and do not speak for Stephen R. Buntrock, there is no guarantee that he approves of- or is even aware of- any content on this site, he is not actively involved in the process of maintaining the site, and he does not officially endorse the site as his own. Stephen is aware of the site and he hasn't asked me to take it down.

The primary aim of the site is to provide a central location for information regarding Stephen Buntrock's onstage career; a secondary purpose is to provide a way for fans, friends and family to articulate their support for his career. (i.e. by signing the guestbook) These pages were born out of my sincere respect for Mr. Buntrock's work and it has always been my desire that they reflect well on him; I have strived to create and maintain a site that is as top quality as I feel he deserves. To that end, I try to keep the site as up-to-date and spiffy looking as possible.

In case you are curious about your friendly neighborhood webmaster, here's just a little information about the woman behind the site. I'm a Software Developer by profession, so I'm pretty adept at the technical issues related to creating and running websites. I like to continue to challenge myself to improve upon my work- both technically and artistically, and I hope that keeps this site fresh. I know this may never be the best site ever created- but I want it to be the best site I can do; I guess I am a little bit of a perfectionist. So please contact me if you have any constructive criticism regarding this site... or if you are impressed enough that you are interested in having me do a site for you.

I welcome any contributions of production photographs (especially from Titanic, Babes in Arms or any shows Stephen had done prior to 1997) or other 'official' documents. It would also be greatly appreciated if you could take a moment to share your thoughts, and sign the guestbook.

Many thanks also to everyone who has taken the time to sign the guestbook!

I've been fortunate enough to have seen a great many talented musical theatre performers, both in the U.S. as well as around the world; it really says something about Mr. Buntrock's work on stage that I wanted to do this site in the first place... especially since I knew little about him other than that he'd told someone else that he did not want a site and that he'd given me a hard time when I'd merely asked for an autograph in May 1999. ;) So I must finally extend a very special thank you to Stephen R. Buntrock- both for always giving 100% onstage, as well as for respecting my work on the site. Finally, on a personal note, here's a shout out of gratitude to both Stephen and Erin for their kindness throughout the years.
