I need to thank so many people, and I know that I will leave someone off the list, albeit unintentionally, so I have chosen to limit my list of gratitude as follows:
Orchard Hill UCC—for opening your doors and your arms to us
Chillicothe City Schools—for the use of your stage
Parents, families, friends of the cast & crew—for your time and support
Cast & crew—for your dedication and talent
Chillicothe Civic Theatre—for giving me the chance
My family—for allowing me time to do this
Zane Trace Drama Department
Grandpa Joe's Candy Store
Marty Ford
Kristin Renison
John Karlson
Tahrea Maynard
A few specific acknowledgments: Amanda Betz, Carolyn Adelsperger, Randa Rossman, John Neff, Heather Bennett, Kelly Frailly, Jerry Park, Joey Manna, John Manasco, Rhonda Payne, and Larry Hammond. I know there are more people that I should thank, and I am sorry if you don’t see your name on here. This list is not complete, but these are the people who helped me every single day, and who helped me believe I could do this. Without you, and everyone I have forgotten, there would be no show, no magic. A director is only as good as the people with whom he surrounds himself, so I should be the best, and it’s all because of everyone involved with this show. Thank you all for sharing your magic with me and with everyone who comes to see the show. We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams. Thanks to you, I see that dreams do come true and life is filled with music. I love you all.
