Aeron Kincaid

Director

This is "Miss K"'s 17th year at Oak Hill teaching choir, 15th year directing OHHS Drama, 35th show directed at Oak Hill, and she still feels like she learns something new every year and show!  Miss K is actively involved in Lakeview Wesleyan Church's worship ministry and previously served as the music director for Hoosier Shakespeare Festival.  She will do more specific thank you's in her director letter, but she would like to thank those in her life that have been a constant source of encouragement.  Miss K would like to say a huge thank you to the many drama directors around the US that have helped us get what we need for this show.  She'd also like to give a shoutout to the most wonderful niece in the world, Emmersen Rose.  Miss K has loved every moment of the process - even the hard ones - and hopes that students see how much she loves them.  She owes to success of this production to the amazing cast and crew.

Technical Director

Amy is an assistant professor of communication at Indiana Wesleyan University where she co-advises Amplify Media and oversees The Sojourn and GrantCOnnected.net.

She would like to thank Aeron for letting her work with the drama program, the cast for sharing their smiles and talent, Andy H. for being an awesome right-hand-guy, Stephanie for helping solve all the problems, Dave and Danielle for handling everything BSB4Lyfe-related, Aaron and Lillian for the amazing set, the tech crew for doing all the things (and doing them incredibly well), her dad and husband for helping when asked (begged, ordered, whatever), and her kids for making all of this so much fun.
