Beacon Theater Studio Classes for helping clean, keep things calm and groovy, and most importantly always being the first butts in seats for every show.

David and Keithlyn for letting us borrow your plants. (Good job plants!)

B'DAT at large - Rory Jacobs, Allie Mealy, Kayra Rincon, Avani Chand, Jeff Ratner, Sophie Miretsky - we so appreciate your contributions to this project.
The Beacon Parent’s Association for generously underwriting all of our Teaching Artists. Hawa Jalloh, Marla Louissaint, David Brune, Jeremy Jacobs, and Keithlyn Parkman, couldn’t be part of our team without your unyielding support. The Beacon PTA not only helps fundraise essential funds to support our teachers, but are also our most enthusiastic audience!
Specifically Joy Kilpatrick and Caroline Laskow for taking on the Box Office, Front of House and B'DAT Parent Volunteer Coordination. B'DAT simply could not exist without your help. To every adult who stepped up to help - we love you!
THANK YOU MAGICAL PEOPLE!
