Samoset Middle School

 With Gratitude 

From Mr. Klein

Mr. Klein is proud to be back for his fifth production for Samoset. Without the assistance of a small army of dedicated people, this production wouldn't be the same. Mr. Klein would like to thank: Mr. Fred Yopp for his engineering expertise and making sure the set remained sturdy; Mr. Nick Kreamer for his room, and supplies to build and paint the set; Ms. Jen Bennett and Mr. Bill Gerrity for their time, advice, and assistance with lights and sound; Mrs. Jenny Terzopoulos for her understanding and willingness to share her classroom; Mrs. Oberlies, Mrs. Seiter, and Mrs. Cordaro for making him feel like part of the Samoset family; Mr. Horan for his continued support in making Drama a success at Samoset; The Samoset custodial and maintainence staffs, especially Mr. Vincent Clark for generously helping with setting up the stage;  Helena and Tori for doing whatever needed to be done; the cast and crew - whose talents and dedication are immeasureable. Special thanks to Ryan Cavanagh for the magic he creates with choreography. And last, but certainly not least, Mrs. Tara Burke for returning a fifth time and still having the patience and fortitude for putting up with Mr. Klein and the tenacity to see it all through. There aren't enough thank yous for all you've done.
