Wilson Middle School

 End Notes 

From the Directors:

 

To our patrons, we hope you enjoy the show! This is a labor of love and it's all for you! Your support and love is what we seek. There's no show without someone to share it with.

Thank you to our entire team! There is no way this show could happen without each and every one of you. Thank you Old Globe Theatre for all your support with Drama Club and training our Theatre Tech. Thank you for Ms. Rachel... I LOVE HER! 

To our Wilson MS staff, I cannot thank you enough for supporting our students in their love of performing and creating. It takes a village and a village we are. I promised that seeing these kids perform would completely change how you see some of them. Am I right? They are like the Broadway stars of El Cajon Blvd! Let's call them... "Boulevard Stars!" Thank you Mrs. Duvall. Your unwavering support has made this show the best yet! Thank you!

Families, thank you for allowing your children space to love theatre and music. I found my passion in the arts and they are finding it here too. It starts with you.

Thank you to all of my students in Period 7 Tiger Choir and Period 4 Beginning Choir. You have grown so much this year as we have brought this show to the stage. When we started the process back in August, I was excited to see how this year would transpire. From learning the music, to auditions, to choreography rehearsals, to blocking rehearsals after school, to Saturday School work days (some in the rain), and finally on the stage. I am so proud of each and every one of you. Putting on a musical takes intense focus and dedication, and you all rose to the occasion. Thank you for making this show one to remember! Break Legs!!!

Ms. Bayless... Welcome to the team! Your patience and hard work is paying off. I appreciate you!

Ms. Calimlim... Thank you for doing theatre with me! I am so grateful for you. You are handling working with an indecisive director with grace. I LOVE working with you. You get me. My favorite memory of this process was your comic relief dancing on stage during tech rehearsals. Maybe you belong on the stage?

-Love, Mrs. Richardson
