 End Notes 

A letter from the director.

 

Oh. My. (Forgive me father) God.

 

This experience was the most amazing yet horrifying I have had so far. The challenges throughout however have made me even more in love wirh this show, and theatre as a whole. I will forever be grateful for this experience, and each and every challenge that has proved to me that I am able to overcome.

 

Theatre has always been one of my biggest passions in life, and I am so happy to be back doing it, and being able to be a part of MTA. Being apart of a production and working with these amazing people is so fulfilling, and I love this cast and this crew so much I dont even know how to describe it.

 

To my cast and crew, thank you for an amazing show and a wonderful experience. You are all amazing and so freaking talented. I am so excited every rehearsal to see what you guys do. You're all also like so funny that you make this show so fun to watch every single day.

 

I would like to thank my family for dealing with me being a theatre kid who does full broadway shows in her bedroom. I would also like to thank my boyfriend Michael for dealing with me, and my show stress, and for helping me with as much as he can. Also thank you for waiting to eat dinner at 10:45pm after rehearsals, just so we can eat together. 

 

I'd also like to thank MTA, and the Eboard for taking a chance on me. Being a part of this club has made my college experience whole. I found a place for me in a school of thousands, and I will forever be grateful for this opportunity. I can't wait to have one more year with this club.

 

To our seniors who will be graduating this May, I am going to miss you guys so much! Having you all be my introduction to this club has been amazing, and you are some of the most amazing people I've had the chance to be around.

 

This experience threw me so many curveballs, and luckily I have this amazing cast, crew, and support team that made these challenges easier to fight. From having to make the costumes myself on my livingroom floor, to us not having scripts, these challenges were battled with you all helping me. Someone said that this show is my baby, and I now know what people mean when they say it takes a village.

 

Thank you.
