To the cast and crew of Aladdin,
First and foremost, congratulations! From our first read-through to our hectic tech week, we could not be more proud of the hardworking, ambitious, and collaborative ensemble members you have become. This is your show. Enjoy every moment of it. Happy opening night!
Sincerely,
Aladdin Jr. Directors
To our amazing 8th graders,
Abby Arnall
When it comes to artistry and professionalism – you’ve got it all! We are all so lucky to have a cast member who takes immense theatrical risks (such as “fainting” on stage!) and takes it upon herself to treat every rehearsal like it is opening night. Professional Performing Arts High School is lucky to have you!
Memo Bousaleh
Your attention to detail has been incredibly beneficial throughout the rehearsal process. You like to challenge decisions, content, and artistic visions, which ultimately helps the production become much more cohesive. Not to mention, we love your comedic timing!
Kathy Carteno
Your signature sass has provided us many laughs this year. Immediately upon stepping into the role, you wowed us with your booming voice and enthusiam for storytelling. We know you had a very important milestone in your life this week (congratulations!), and we are so honored that you still made Aladdin a priority.
William Dugan
From comedy to drama, you can do it all! No matter what is thrown at you, you always remain firmly in character and fully in command of the stage. We couldn't be more proud of the performer you have become.
Jenny Huang
What would we do without our daily dosage of Jenny smiles and jokes? Your consistent positive attitude coupled with your dedication to character work have made this production process such a joy. We truly hope you continue exploring performance in high school!
Trinity Kennedy
You have shown great vision for the details of lighting. You are the honest voice within the crew and serve as a mentor to your peers. Thank you for your sense of responsibility and commitment throughout this show!
Lila Kocieniewski
Your voice has developed greatly over the past three years. We love your strong presence in rehearsals and the way you advocate for yourself and for others!
