Mounting a production like Dracula requires the faith and support of an amazing number of people. An effort like this encompasses every aspect of the WILDCAT WAY. The Director, the Wildcat Theatre Company, and the cast and crew of Dracula wish to acknowledge and express our most sincere gratitude to all of the following people:
Mrs. Shelley Arrott, PCPS Superintendent, without whose support and
understanding this production could never have happened.
Mr. Thad Dilbeck, PoHi Head Principal-- for courage, support, guidance, and no small amount of wisdom throughout this process.
Mr. Bret Smith, Director of Operations for PCPS: for team spirit, his support and assistance with all lighting, sound, and physical plant improvements. Also special thanks to Tony Smith and maintenance muscle. Thank you all for "diggin us out of the Dark Ages" in so many ways.
Mr. Troy Buller for printing our posters and to Tammy Roath and her team in Business and Finance for printing the program you are holding now.
Undying thanks to Kat Long and the Ponca Playhouse for providing nearly all of the costumes, many props, and furniture for this production.
Thank you to Sam Dunbar for choreographing our more intimate scenes.
Mr. Michael Grimes, Science Department Chair, for his scientific expertise and assistance with medical requirements and effects.
Mrs. Julie Ray: without your expertise we would never have been able to navigate all of the difficult terrain that is the business and finance world at PoHi.
Thank you to Brenda Storie, Jan Miller, Carla Webb, Chris Larimer, and all the staff in the Department of Business and Finance. I apologize for keeping the card so long.
Thank you to Bill Miller for your assistance and advice on painting the set.
Terry Dufner, Robert Hoch and the entire maintainence staff at PoHi without whom we would frequently have been lost, locked out, or otherwise "up a stump." Thank you for your patience and your tireless work in cleaning and maintaining our facility-- including all the times you arrived to find your vacume cleaners, ladders, or mops missing, and the dumpster stuffed full. Thank you for the use of the cart, trash tubs, cleaning supplies, trash bags, because we have none of our own, and especially for keeping the elevator running.Thank you also to the very special ladies who watched over our cast and crew during our late evenings.
All parents and guardians who put up with so much-- including late nights, exhausted, and often cranky students, and trip after trip to the school.
Thank you to all faculty and staff at PoHi for your understanding throughout this process and for supporting the students in their work.
And finally, a very special thank you to all members of the theatre community in the area including:Ponca Playhouse, Poncan Theatre, Evans Children's Theatre, and Northwestern Oklahoma College. Thank you for welcoming us into the fold.
