Palmdale Repertory Theatre

 Director's Notes 

Hiiiiii!!!

 

We all know the story of that one boy wizard, born into the life of a hero, goes to magic school and defeats the bad guy. But what about all the other students who were there too? The ones whose names you don't remember. Welcome to the Puffs! This comedic-tragedy about school life, when someone else is the Hero in your own story. Travel through all 7 years with this crazy crew of misfits as they navigate teenage angst, unlikely friendships and Snogging? 

 

This is my second show directing in the AV and first straight play. I have never been more proud of a cast and crew for pulling this off in a little over 6 weeks. To my right hand gals, It has truly been an honor to be come so close to each of these lovely ladies. A special thank you to Koly McBride, our sponsor, for supporting the growth of women directors in the arts. I will cherish your kindness for a lifetime, my dear friend. 

 

To all the unsung heroes of the world, you are seen and you matter. Don't let the world tell you you're just some lame, stupid, failure, because that's the best part of being a Puff! (besides being so close to the kitchen) You fail a lot, but eventually it gets better, you get better. And you never truly know just how important you maybe to someone else's story. "We're all important, and we're all unimportant. We're all heroes. In some way. To someone." This show is to pay respect to all the unsung heroes in my life, Thank you. Finally, to the Puffiest-Puff that inspires me everyday to be a ray of sunshine, thank you Eric Kimura, for being the Hero in my story.
