The JCB Drama Club has been through a season of change...as always, with change comes growing pains, learning arcs, and challenges. However, as this year more than proves, change can also bring some wonderful opportunities and fresh new ideas and talent.  

As always, there are countless people to thank. Our Phoenix Chorus and Drama Boosters - every single parent and member who makes the gears turn and the events happen - we owe you everything. Boosters President Marie Kammerer-Franke and Past President Greg Hawthorne, Vice President Beth Myer, Secretary Cheryl Perkins and Treasurer Erin Felix - you have not only continued to invest in the prorgam, but have made it stronger!  

Our Phoenix Central School District Administration, led by our welcoming Superintendent Mr. Christopher Byrne, has always had our best interests in mind. We thank the Administration for their collective support.

The John C. Birdlebough High School Administration - Principal Thomas Bailer, Assistant Principal Patrick Fitch, Academic Dean Helen Abbott - your belief in our program and our kids is unparalleled. We also have the most amazing and patient support staff - Michelle Rudy, Cindy Lees, Adam Schmidtmann, Bridget Arnold - and we hope you realize how much you mean to us. 

Paul Harris, Adam Painter, Wayne Presby, Tricia Griffin and the entire JCB day and evening custodial staff deserve a huge round of their own applause. Their dedication and attention to our needs and details keeps everything running smoothly.

The Phoenix Central School District Board of Education has always delivered unending support and encouragement. This year's members - President Earl Rudy, Vice President Robert Southworth, James Brooker, Jim Graham, Wayne Halstead, Kate Kehn, Cliff Pelton, Jeffrey Slater,  and Keith Renfrew - are exceptional role models and mentors. 

There are so many individuals and groups that have helped us along the way - the entire staff who support us by coming out to see the shows, the parents and families and friends who are there hrough long nights and emotional rehearsals, the businesses who donate materials and labor, the peers of the students performing, playing and working through the musical...we are bound to miss someone by name. Just know that we appreciate you ALL. 

Thank you for allowing us to be the best!
