   As I sit down to write out my director’s letter for Guys

   & Dolls, my mind drifts back, thinking about the last

   three years of leading CAHS's musical theatre program

   - all the ups and downs we have endured. What a gift

   I have been given. The gift of impacting the lives of

   young performers through theatre. It's far too easy to

   get bogged down in the tyranny of what needs to

   happen in the here and now of a project and lose sight

   of what we have been given; what we should be

   grateful for. So with that in mind, I want to say thank

   you!

   Thank you, to our audiences, for your continued

   support of our students and their work. It is a privilege

   to guide these children through their artistic journeys.

   They are the reason we do what we do and the reason

   you keep returning again and again.

   Thank you to all of the families and faculty members

   that have given their time and resources to make this

   piece of theatre, and others, grow and come to life.

   We could not do this without you.

   Thank you to the administration of the Classical

   Academies for your unwavering commitment to the

   arts and artistic training for our students. 

   Finally, thank you to the students, themselves, for

   their commitment to artistic excellence, passion for

   theatre and the giant hearts they bring to every

   project we work on. I am blessed! There is no doubt

   about it. This journey has been a beautiful one. This

   year has been filled with so many new experiences.

   It has been everything I had hoped it would be and I

   hope that you will enjoy the fruits of our labors. 

   Thank you for being with us tonight and always.

   Enjoy the show!
