 End Notes 

Dear Seniors,

     As the final act of your high school theater journey approaches, I am filled with a mixture of emotions – immense pride, a touch of sadness, and above all, gratitude for the adventure we've shared on this stage.

      From that first nervous audition to the rehearsals that have shaped each one of you, it’s been inspiring to see your growth. Your commitment, creativity, and energy have filled our space with life and made every moment unforgettable. You've brought characters to life, found courage in each note and line, and created memories that will stay with all of us.

     As you stand ready to take your final bows, remember that your time here has left a lasting legacy. You've set the bar high for those who will step into your shoes, and our theater will always carry the echoes of your laughter, your dedication, and the bonds you've built.  Whatever path you take from here—whether in the arts or a completely new direction—carry with you the lessons you’ve learned, the friendships that have grown, and the spark that makes you uniquely you. Our stage will always be a part of you, just as you will always be part of our theater family. As we prepare to lift the curtain one last time on this chapter, let’s celebrate the amazing journey you’ve had. Shine brightly, show the world the stars you’ve become, and know that you will always hold a special place in our hearts. Remember, what makes you special, makes us all stronger.  Thank you for the unforgettable moments and Thank you for the music!
