Notes from the Directors
Craig Sodaro has brought generations of music to life with this show. It truly feels as though the entire cast has gone to the 1960’s and back thanks to the thoughtful writing and well timed references. We owe thanks to you for allowing us to take this journey.
To the cast and crew: THANK YOU! Without anyone willing to put in the work, this stage is nothing more than a piece of wood. And wow, did you guys put in the work. This show is something that each of you should be proud of. Take every single moment and enjoy it.
Thank you to Dr. Duvall for allowing me the opportunity to direct and take a leap into something new. I have learned so much and am excited to take this with me moving forward.
This show is dedicated to my family back home. Without their constant support and love, none of this would have been remotely possible.
Mr. Josh Bender, assistant director
What a fun concept! Craig Sodaro really has the heart and soul of a student in his scripts... so fun and creative... and the hope of connecting with ALL generations! Again, I start with the determination of the cast and crew within a growing Theatre Department to put on a quality show regardless of work schedules and life schedules … not to mention homework! These kids are DETERMINED!
Thank you to our newest contributions of actors and crew from our Drama 1s, 2s and 3s… as well as newest collaborations from our new MUSICAL THEATRE department!
Thank you to Mr. Charles Larssen as our “eagle-eye” for proof-reading EVERYTHING! …but what I am personally most proud of is our willingness to come together as a family and get the job done! This experience is not only an artistic learning experience, but a special one for each member involved.
As you watch this performance, please take into consideration the countless hours each child, adult, and family member invested… and be in awe. Thank you to Mr. Bender… especially, for trusting us all with his newest adventure in theatre! Good work, sir! Your countless references to historical accuracy and personal experiences were/are incredibly valuable!
I would like to dedicate this show to the idea that all generations can always find a way to “come together”. - The Beatles, Come Together
