With 45 cast members and 45 crew members and a giant performing arts center with students working in so many locations, we are so thankful for our rehearsal chaperones. Thank you Judy Philip*, Anair Teixeira, Ceci Chaparro, Jennifer Arave, Laura Woo, Lan Trinh, Loralie Ocliazo, Marcella McColl, Stacy Jimenez, Swetha Chitrapu, Tali/ Eliram Shatz, Toiny/ Jeff Ha, Uma Murthy, and Ying Ying Jing for setting up and organizing and supervising to make sure the students are safe.
We are grateful for the company party committee for planning and organizing a fun way to celebrate all the hard work the students have put in to this show. It is no small task! Thank you Divya Malik*, Aninza Grover, and Kathy He. We are looking forward to it!
I also want to extend a big thanks to Michael Thompson of Bayside Performing Arts Center, Jason McElroy for all his work playing in the pit and recruiting musicians, Bowditch faculty and staff for their support of the program, Leslie Burndon, Alyssa Anderson, and Cathy Somerton for their help and support with set building. Blythe Tai, thank you for running a basic cast make-up tutorial.
Thanks to Kevin Hirata at Ink It Logowear for helping us get the t-shirts and sweatshirts designed and ordered.
Thank you, also, to volunteers who stepped up at the last minute/ after this program was printed. Putting on a full, broadway-style musical is a ton of work and takes a lot of people. Thank you to our volunteers and audience for creating this amazing opportunity for the students!
