This performance of Bye Bye Birdie has involved hundreds of volunteers. The directors would like to thank the SMFCSD, School Board and Dr. Cynthia Simms for their support of the arts at Bowditch.
We would also like to acknowledge the immense support of Principal Judy Ross and Assistant Principals Caleb Bowers and Alice Wycke; along with the administrative support of Julie Roza, Wendy Chan, and Jennifer Szelenyi; our custodian staff headed by Ravendra Singh; and our wonderful team of teachers at Bowditch, especially Mike Moreno, Amelia Hollingsworth, Stephanie Sfarzo and Manjira Datta, who headed up our student crews, and Mr. Remington who edited movie clips for the show. We have an amazing administration who rarely said, "No," and were always giving of their time to ensure that our students would have an opportunity to make great memories.
The directors would also like to say "Bravo" to our wonderful parents. Whether parents donated their time, talent and/or money, it was the Bowditch parent community that literally pulled this show together. Thank you.
We would also like to acknowledge and thank our local youth theater community - Hillbarn, San Mateo High, Pied Piper Players, Borel Middle School, San Carlos Children's Theater, Virginia Musante, Nancy Fitzgerald Metzer - which has assisted us with props, costumes and/or many words of encouragement. Thank you Michael Thompson, theater manager at Bayside Performing Arts Center, and your team for your support and technical guidance. We couldn't have done it without your amazing talent.
And finally, thank you to those in the community who gave donations: coffee from Starbucks, flowers from Dana's Flowers, and posters from Barker Blue, and to our wonderful and generous sponsors:
