The thanks can't cover enough ground!
So... in no particular order -
Sid Davis - for seeing the vision.
The Board of Tapestry Players - for birthing a new and rich opportunity.
The Worship Commission - for seeing the value in this outreach.
The Finance Committee - for teaching us how to get this to the places of REAL and Achievable.
The Media Department - Mark Eaves, Mike McGee, and Ben Strohman for making all of it happen with no resources, no budget and no time. These amazing men are unsung heroes of the church. (Ben could teach a one armed monkey to create art... and our one-armed monkey thanks him in particular).
Monica Griffin for thirty-seven thousand behind the scenes efforts no one will ever fully understand and B B Bamberg for a similar number.
Carol Mohrman - for getting the word out, being amazingly supportive, and always finding a way to make a good thing better.
Sandy Rushe, Ruth McCurdy, and Tina Throckmorton for putting together all of our hospitality efforts to build this company and audience..
The staffs at Michael's, Performing Arts Supply, Frankel's, and Carl Russell - for not laughing me out of their buildings... when they had every right.
Wives, husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends, children, pets and friends of our cast and crew for their patience with long nights of rehearsal and keeping us going.
I have missed someone critical, I know... but suffice it to say... Tapestry Players is deeply indebted to many. If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a robust community to build a community of service.
You are all part of this birthing - please maintain your interest and involvement as we grow up. The next few years we should be adoreable and cute, but we will be making a few messes here and there. It's a process.
