FROM THE PRODUCERS
We are delighted that you are able to join us for WCT’s production of Singin’ In The Rain Jr. We are so proud of our incredible cast. They have worked hard these last twelve weeks memorizing melodies, learning blocking, and practicing choreography. Along with everything that happens on the stage, these kids have been dedicated to their theater family; bonding as a cast, supporting each other, and working together making production.
Together our director, Skip, musical director, Barbara, and choreographer, Wilber, have created this classic production while leading us all with enthusiasm, patience, kindness, and joy.
We are so lucky to work with the talented Brooke Burling on set design and construction, as well as Jim Durkin on sound, and Craig Gehr on lights. The sets, sound, and lighting are what really take this show to another level.
It can be hard to appreciate everything that goes on behind the scenes to make it happen. We would like to thank our fellow WCT board members and, specifically, our executive board (Mandy, Vivian, Stephanie, and Kathy) and committee chairs (Alissa, Jeanne, Shannon, and Suzanne) who began this journey with us back in June. Thank you for your humor, creativity, and organization. We could not have done it without you.
A big thank you to our cast parents, all of whom participate on a committee. From sewing, painting, publicizing, designing, and chaperoning, we are so grateful for your time and the support you have given to make this show an exceptional experience.
The same goes for our team of high school interns. With everything that high school demands, these young adults take time from their busy schedules to help at our rehearsals leading warm-ups, writing blocking, running lines with the cast, reviewing dance numbers, and working behind the scenes during the shows.
Finally, we want to thank our families. We could not have done this without you. Producing a show takes over your life, so thank you for picking up the pieces, dealing with the craziness, and supporting us through it all.
We are so incredibly proud of these kids and all they have achieved. They are a remarkable team, a brilliant cast, and a wonderful group of people. We hope to watch them all on stage again!
Thank you,
Tobin Bassani & Melissa Coppola
Singin’ In The Rain Jr. Producers
