This is the segment of the Unofficial Collins Tour homepage dedicated to our Roger, Cary Shields. Cary is a brilliant performer who began his RENT sojourn with the Benny tour on March 29th, 1998. Following his engagement with the Benny tour he joined the Collins Tour in Toronto on May 21st.

UPDATE!: There is a new section to this page: Cary's Chronicle. Drop by to get the most up to date & pertinant info on Mr. Shields. This page will be constantly updated as relevant & appropriate info becomes available.

If anyone out there has any information or articles regarding Cary that they would like to share, I would love to hear from you. Right now I am trying desperately to develop a quotes section for this page. Please send me all of your Cary-isms! You can drop me a line at thieves_crossing@canada.com. Thank You!

Before you go please be sure to sign Cary's guestbook!

At this point you may be wondering why this section is called the Crossroads. The name of this page is a tribute to Cary's band "Thieves Crossing" (creative, eh?).

Well... enough administrative info... without further adieu... here's Cary! Enjoy!
