Shrek The Musical Jr - March 24 - April 02, 2023

Nazareth Area Middle School

 Acknowledgements 

A HUGE thank you to -- Leslie Taaffee, Leilani Grossbauer, Karen Hofmann, and Amy Rosenthal and our student costumers Emily Statfield, Amalia Bialiy, Kai Fox, and Allana Miller for all of their help with our costumes!!! It is no small task to costume 40+ actors, many of whom wear multiple outfits.  

 

A special shout-out to Brooke Hellwig, our Theatre Troupe President who did the hard work of the cast/crew bios & show information together in this program! Thank you for ALL of your hard work these last few months!!!

 

Our many props and set pieces were designed and assembled by middle school students participating in our 8th grade elective Theatre Arts course, our build crew, and also our STEAM theatre design course.  We are SO proud and impressed by these students and their creativity and perseverance to find ways to make props that will work in a theatre setting.

 

 

Beth Peters and Mr. & Mrs. Johnson, who took a huge weight off of the director's shoulders this year and organized parent volunteers, front of house sales, concessions, and helped with many managerial tasks.  You are amazing and SO appreciated!

 

 

Thank you to Dr. Kaskey, our school administrators, and our district's school board for supporting our theatre program! Every minute they get to spend here, every experience they get have creating work they are proud of, is because you all give them these opportunities.  We appreciate your recognition and dedication to supporting the arts so that these students can grow up having these positive experiences!

 

 

Thank you to Deb Schaninger, Brandalyn Timko, and Laurie Sales, for all of your help and support throughout the year!  

 

 

A big thank you to our custodians, our club appriecates ALL that you do, and thanks you so much for your patience with us and our late rehearsals!

 

To our high school student directors -- words cannot describe the gratitude I feel for all of your hard work. Nothing requires you to be here, yet you have continued to show up supporting the directors, the students, and our program for countless hours.  Kaylyn, your amazing acting notes for our middle school students and the time you've spent helping to take care of so many managerial tasks for me has been so appreciated. These students value your input more than you know! Jacob -- This set wouldn't be so beautiful, nor finished so QUICKLY, if it weren't for you.  Thank you for being the person to solve all the problems and get everything accomplished! Emotional support from both of you as we've gone through the motions of pulling a show together has been valued as well :) You both amaze me, and I am forever grateful to have you.

 

 

Mills & Musto -- How lucky are we? This wouldn't be half as fun without you. Production number 11 and counting <3
