To the cast and crew of Singin' In the Rain
Your director's would like to thank you all so sincerely for everything you have overcome and accomplished this year. You have all worked tirelessly to make this show what the audience will experience over this weekend. We are so proud of how hard you have worked. Given the unprecendented nature of this year we have watched you overcome more challenges than any that have ever been put before you. And we know that you are truly capable of anything. Now that the hard work is over, have fun during the performances. If you have fun, the audience will too!
And now for our 8th graders. Most of you have been with us for many years now. With this being your final show we have a few important notes to share with you. Always remember to step out of your comfort zone, because no one ever did anything truly entertaining without stepping out of their comfort zone. Embracing your inner spark allows magic to happen on stage.
Addie Craig- You have been a breath of fresh air this year. Your gentle and kind nature truly helps you embody Kathy. Break a leg tonight!
Coral Felts- We are so happy you decided to join our crew. Learning something completely out of your comfort zone must have been very stressful and you handled it with ease. Thank you for making this show better!
Cadey Logue- Your personality will forever be missed and remembered. You never failed to bring a smile or a laugh to our faces, now Make Em' Laugh tonight!
Sophia Sottek- Thank you for trusting us to put you in this character. You're comedic genius and impeccible timing truly shine throughout your performance. It is a true testament to your talent!
Carson Teel- Watching you grow as a performer has been a joy for all of us. You are truly special and meant to do amazing things in the theater world, we can't wait to watch.
Caleb Tomlinson- We always enjoy your interpretations of each of your characters, but this one truly takes the cake. Thank you for showing us how to truly be the man in charge!
Landon Vance- Thank you so much for stepping up and being a part of this years show. You were truly a life saver! Your willingness to step out of your comfort zone and try something new amazes us all.
Sophia Young- Thank you for always keeping us focused and keeping up with all of our messy ideas! We will miss you greatly, after all who will keep us organized next year!
8th graders we're sad to see you go, but we loved to watch you bring this show to life! Always remember:
We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams; —
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.
