Within our wonderful community at Bowditch and outside of its walls, there are so many people that have given so much to the directors, cast, and crew.  I’d like to give you an extra special thank you! 

 

To the Bowditch Administration (Heather Morgan, Caleb Bowers, Charles Perryman and Charles Neal), thank you for very rarely telling me, “No.”

 

To the office staff (Alicia Aragon, Isabelle Bushman and Erin Jensen), thank you for going way beyond your job to assist me and our kids.

 

To our awesome custodial staff led by Ravendra Singh, thank you for everything. You guys rock!

 

To our amazing BMS staff, thank you for letting me pull kids out of your classes and for the encouragement you gave me and the cast on a daily basis.  Thank you to the teachers that assisted our crews and musicians (Christina Smolen, Sally Barger, Manjira Datta, Mark Schoenberg, Lauren Padilla and Jason McElroy) and to those of you supervising our shows. THANKS!

 

To our PTSA, thank you for your generous financial gifts and support.

 

Finally, to our extended community, thank you.  To Erica Wyman-Abrahamson and Aya Matsutomo from Hillbarn - thank you, thank you.  Your support, your suggestions, and your donations have meant the world to me.  I’m excited to see how our collaboration will continue to grow as we move forward.  Thank you to Kevin Low and the entire team at Dance Arts Center for letting us invade your space for us to rehearse.  Thank you, Kevin, for once again donating your time and talent to our show by being our House Manager.  Also to those of you who have personally encouraged me along the way (Virginia Musante, Alyssa Goldrath, parents of current cast and alumni students, our alumni, and my entire Facebook community), thank you!

 

To my parent leads (Diane, Matt, Jerry, Yotvat, Daisy, Banu, Clare, Christina and Weiju—there are truly not enough words to say it—but THANK YOU!)

 

Thank you to Michael Thompson and your entire team at Bayside Performing Arts Center for always giving us so much support both professionally and through encouragement throughout the entire planning, rehearsal and performance process.

 

Finally, I’d like to thank David Song, Jayne Zaban and Rick Reynolds, first, for your amazing gifts and talents, and secondly, for your encouragement and your willingness to always figure out a way.
