You're a Good Crew, Abbott Drama Team!
(A Charlie Brown-esque moment of appreciation)
Good grief! Putting on a show is a lot like trying to kick that football – it takes a whole team of good people with a lot of heart (and maybe a little bit of stubbornness!). We've been so lucky to have a truly wonderful crew of friends and helpers who deserve more than just a "Good ol' Charlie Brown!" of thanks. So, let's take a moment to celebrate each and every one of you...
(Our Corner of the Peanuts Universe)
First off, a big "Happiness is a warm set!" to Irene Poespowidjojo & James McCollum for helping build our world, brick by imaginary brick and mound by make-believe mound. You've helped build our actors the perfect place to dream big (and maybe have a little existential crisis).
(Dressed for the Part)
"Oh, my stomach!" These costumes are fantastic! A huge thanks to Marcella McCollum, Ines Lopez Franco, Terri Lim, Leah Koepf & Irene Poespowidjojo for dressing our gang in just the right stripes and sweetness. You've truly helped us become the Peanuts we know and love.
(Looking Our Best)
"Pig-Pen always has his dust cloud, but we have you!" A big thank you to Gina Lorton, Jen McLain, Adina Diamond & all the other helpers for adding that perfect touch of character with your makeup magic. You've made sure everyone looks their very best under the lights.
(Sweet Treats & Treasures)
"Waaaugh! What delightful goodies!" Thank you to Alison Willis, Valerie Morales Bourne, & Marcella C McCollum for bringing joy to our audience with flowergrams, candygrams, merchandise, and those all-important concessions. You've added that extra bit of sweetness to our show.
(Reaching Out)
Rats! We wouldn't have that support without Vanessa Wong! Your hard work in ad solicitation has been invaluable. Thank you for helping us share our Peanuts story.
(A Little Celebration)
Good ol' Alison Willis! Thank you for planning a well-deserved cast and crew party. It's just what we'll need to celebrate all our hard work – a little moment of perfect happiness!
(The Big Picture)
You blockhead!" (Just kidding!) Thank you to our Design Committee: James Phillips and Marcella McCollum for your vision and planning. Your expertise has shaped the look and feel of our entire production.
(Wearing Our Pride)
"Security is a show t-shirt!" Thanks to Sophia Domínguez for your support in making sure we can all sport a little piece of our Peanuts gang.
(Tickets to Happiness)
Linus always has his blanket, and we had you two at the Box Office! Thank you to David Lim and James McCollum for your efficient seat and ticket wrangling.
(Backstage Heroes)
My sweet babboo! Thank you to our incredible backstage team: Cindy Buenavista (Assistant Stage Manager) for keeping everything running smoothly, and Kelly Rancatore for your invaluable support behind the scenes. Thank you to Cat Bocchino and all the other parents who chaperoned and supported. We couldn't have done it without you!
(Our Wonderful Staff)
You're nothin' but a blockhead... a helpful blockhead! A huge thank you to our amazing staff, especially Paul Belzer, Alexis Garcia, Fernando Figueroa, and Stephanie Marcone, for all your guidance and support. You make the impossible seem possible!
(And Finally... All of Our Amazing Parents!)
Oh, boy! Where would our kite-flying adventures be without you wonderful parents?Apologies if we missed you above. Thank you for putting up posters, stepping into any spot that was needed (seriously, any spot!), and for your unwavering support of the entire Abbott Drama team. You are all truly the best kind of grown-ups – the ones who help our dreams take flight.
Sending a big, heartfelt, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown! kind of thank you!
