My name is Joni Smithwick. A couple things about me: I have taken several Buzzfeed quizzes and it has been determined that I am 41% Brave, 25% Smart, 25% Puff, and 9% Snake. Also, I directed this show. Hiiiii!!!!
The 2020-2021 school year has definitely been one for the books, so ending it all with something this magical and fun seemed fitting. The amount of laughs we have had from auditions through opening night has been a form of healing in itself. I am so proud of everything these awesome kids have been able to accomplish not only with this show, but also during this entire year. Also, I am SO grateful to work with such kind, caring, and considerate students who are so wonderful and supportive and who put others ahead of themselves.
If you're a parent, family member, or friend of any of our cast and crew we thank you for sharing them with us. I can't wait for you to see what they've been working on! Enjoy the show!
An abundance of thanks to...
Laura Wilson, Scott Morlanne, and the SFHS Administrative Team for their continued support of South PA and allowing us to still do what we love during such a crazy time!
Sandra Dupee for helping us with all of our Amazon packages!
My tech class for building such a fun set and props!
Rebecca King for all of your hard work arranging our volunteers and all of the rest of the amazing things you do for us and the kiddos!
Lesley Land for running ticketing for this show! It was so helpful and we couldn't have done it without you!
Rachel Munn for being just the actual best at all of the things. Thank you for keeping me sane, all of our lunch dates in my office, tackling this year with grace and kindness, being an amazing friend, and so many more things I don't have enough room to write about. You are the peanut butter to my jelly (on toasted end pieces of bread).
Brandon and Milly for holding me together. Words can't express my love and appreciation for our family, and I am so lucky and blessed to share my life with you crazy, amazing, funny humans. You guys are my favorite.
