Director’s Note
Well Good Evening (or Good afternoon if it is)
And Welcome to our little slice of showbiz!
Our talented cast’s getting ready right now
To make you say “Jeepers!” and “Golly” and “Wow!”
From the Cat in the Hat and the Sour Kangaroo
From Mayzie and Gertrude and the People of Who.
To Horton, the Bird Girls, and Wickershams too,
We’ve worked long and hard to bring this show to you!
And oh, it’s been fun,
Yes, it’s really been great.
To work with these kids ev’ry night until late.
To watch them create all the things I think of
Reminds me…
I LOVE what I do and do what I love.
I’m so proud of this cast and my true blue crew too.
And I hope that you’ll love them as much as I do.
I think that you will, If I am perfectly frank,
But first there’s a couple of people to thank…
To Makaila, who rehearsed all the tunes,
On most evenings, and some afternoons
To Daniela and Katie, and Janessa too, for costumes and lights,
And our prop maker parents who worked with great might.
To our Dear Ms. Courtney who never forgets a step touch, or samba she never misses yet.
To our awesome Janessa and Josie too, intrepid SM and ASM,
And Robert and Natalie whose beautiful set is a gem,
To Stephanie, Jennifer, Pam, and Jessica, who worked with great care
And our Sound girls, Laila and Michelle who has volumes to share
And that is all I know, I’ll stop bending your ear.
Now on to the reason that you all are here…
Let Seussical thrill you and keep you in thrall
And Remember…
A Person’s a person, No matter how small!
Marilyn Ocker – Director
