Laurie Schroeder and Philip Callen were married at Holy Shepherd Lutheran Church in Orinda on April 12, 2014, with a reception following at Claremont Country Club. Laurie, the daughter of Fred and Marla Schroeder, grew up in Moraga and graduated from Campolindo High School and the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va. She received her MFA in Classical Acting from the Central School of Speech and Drama in London. Phil, the son of Ron and Carolyn Callen of Lansing, Mich., graduated from Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn. The couple met in New York City when they were cast as Lord and Lady Capulet in "Romeo and Juliet." Coincidentally, the production also featured Elizabeth Romanski, Laurie's lifelong friend from Moraga, as Lady Montague. Phil and Laurie were honored to have Elizabeth and another longtime friend, Jim Amos of Minneapolis, serve as Maid of Honor and Best Man in their wedding. In addition to acting, Laurie is a Medical Educator at the New York Institute of Technology, training doctors and medical students in the art of interpersonal communication. Phil has acted extensively in both Minneapolis and New York City and is CEO of the Tapemark Charity Pro-Am Golf Tournament in St. Paul, an event benefiting people throughout Minnesota with developmental disabilities. Laurie and Phil make their home in New York City.
