I cannot state enough just how proud I am of this production. The cast and tech crew have truly been wonderful to work with, and the Alfresco Board of Directors has provided an unparalelled level of support. It takes more than just a few good singers to bring a production of this caliber together. It takes a group of individuals who are willing to put in long hours of work and are willing to have patience throughout the process. The level of commitment that this cast has demonstrated is truly exceptional.
I would like to extend my gratitude to Brenda Whitaker and the Alfresco Board of Directors for this tremendous opportunity, and for all of the support they have given in making this show a success.
A special thank you to Jerry Anderson and Diane Wingerter for all of their tremendous help with lights and sound. Without their help, this production couldn't have come to life.
Thank you to all of you reading this. Without your support, Alfresco Productions would not be where it is today. We truly appreciate your patronage and support in our endeavor of bringing the arts to Granite City, and fostering creativity in the greater St. Louis Community.
To the cast - I cannot thank you all enough for everything you have given and all that you have done in this show. All of the work you have put in to this production has paid off, and it is a bittersweet moment for me to see it coming to fruition at the finale of these months of work. I appreciate all of you, and I cannot wait to work with you again in the future.
To my family and friends: I would like to say thank you to my brother for first pushing me to pursue music, and helping convince Mom and Dad that I was serious in my interest. To Mom and Dad; thank you for giving me the opportunity to participate in the arts in school, and continuing to support them in my life. To my sister; thank you for always taking an interest in what Julia and I are up to at the theater. To my Mother-in-Law; thank you for the consistent love and support of both Julia's artistic interests, as well as mine. Finally, to my loving wife Julia; thank you for all of the love, patience, encouragement and support that you have given me in our artistic endeavors. If just one of the people listed above hadn't done all they had, then I would not be in the position I am today. I am eternally grateful, and love you all.
Thank you all again for coming out and supporting our show. I hope you love this show as much as we have loved putting it all together. Now, that's enough reading for you. I would love for you all to Attend the Tale of Sweeney Todd!
