This year's production combined the unique and varied talents of over 65 students, with the direction of multiple staff members, and lots of parent volunteers. We appreciate everyone that stepped in to help, from costumes to make-up to set building, and more! We would love to highlight the following people for going above and beyond:
** The Woods for another year of professional-level set design
** AJC Performance out of Berryville for the amazing vocal coaching
** Crystal McIntosh for wrangling all our parent volunteers and making sure that everything from tshirts to food service went smoothly. Steve McIntosh for filming our promo videos.
** Isaac Pacheco and Beryl Young for the headshots and rehearsal photos
** Skye Stalzer and the county for the loan and use of the scaffold, bringing our fire-escape-NYC vision to life
** Dovy Paukstys and Chris Porta for helping our light and sound tech crew learn their jobs and operate the boards
** All of our committee chairs, who worked together for extra hours to support the production. From food to publicity, you all made this a wonderful experience for the kids!
** To the staff and administration of Harmony Middle School for their support. We love that so many came to see the show, took the time to talk to the students about it, and put up with endless renditions of "Seize the Day."
** To the custodial staff for putting up with our constant mess and for pulling those partition doors back so many times, and to Crystal Schilling for your meticulous bookkeeping. We know we made extra work for you!
Finally, as director, I want to thank Mrs. Brown for keeping me organized and moving forward, Mrs. Miller for the amazing vocal direction and camradiere, and Mrs. Kim for showing me all the different ways kids could jump down from the scaffold. I am so thankful for our group effort.
