I want to thank the members of my staff for all of the dedication and effort put into making this production possible. Each of your contributions makes our program what it is, and I am truly blessed to work with each and every one of you.
Colleen- You have been the rock of this production, and I am so grateful for all you have done. I know our audience will be so impressed when they see your choreography. You and our students worked so very hard to perfect this dance-heavy show, and it truly shows. However, thank you for all the additional work that you also did to help both Emily and myself bring this one home. You are appreciated more than you can know.
Randa- Thank you for your endless dedication to our program and for doing such a fabulous job with all of these tricky harmonies. Your passion for music and love of our students and program is such a gift. You always know just what to say to make us all feel like we are on track.
John- Thank you for working with our soloists to perfect these vocals (while also working on our future show at the same time!). Thanks for always being willing and able to tackle any song or fix that I throw at you at the last minute. It helps us get where we need to be much faster!
Emily- I am so thrilled to have you back in the program, only this time on the staff! Thank you for agreeing to take on this task at such a moment of change in your own life. It has certainly been an adventure so far, and I look forward to continued work with you as we move forward. Thank you for all you have done to get this show across the finish line.
Johanna- Thank you for supporting me in any and every way needed. From ticketing to ads to fundraising to scheduling interviews to completing the playbill to set building, you always show up when asked, and that means so very much.
Caitlin- Thank you for always assisting me in achieving the show's vision and for taking care of the logistics of scheduling show days and making each and every cast member look amazing on stage. You take a large burden off my shoulders.
Kipp- Thank you for your unwavering commitment to the program and to always doing what is needed to elevate the show to the next level with creative and inspired lighting. What you do adds so very much and is truly an art in and of itself. Thank you!
Greg- I always say it, but I truly mean it: you are a steady hand in the sound booth, and I look forward to "mic time" every show because I know you will be right there with your reassuring nature. You are a wonderful friend, and I am so grateful that you keep coming back to work with us. I wouldn't want to do a show without you.
To our cast and crew- Thank you for your dedication to this program and your commitment to excellence. Your pride in this program and your willingness to put in the time and effort required is evident to everyone who sees our productions. You impress me every day, and I am blessed to be able to work with each and every one of you. This process has been a pleasure, and our future is bright. Thank you.
