What an exciting journey this has been! The cast and crew of Clue have been an absolute pleasure to work with! I am especially lucky to have had such an incredible student leadership team. They have proven time and time again and without fail that they can be depended upon to bring this wonderful show to fruition. Thank you to Raelin Neal, our student Tech Director, who together with our fabulous crew brought this fabulous set, sound, props, lighting, and costumes out to shine. She brought me so many incredible ideas ans designs for this production way before we even held our first audition. Raelin is a spectacular leader and it has been a pleasure and an honor to have her on my leadership team.  To my Student Director, Aidan Skinner and Assistant Student Director, Venerando Remulta, thank you so much for all of the input and imaginative ideas that you infused into this show. To my wonderful Stage Manager, Nathan Elvira, thank you for all that you have done at every rehearsal and show to help keep this show moving forward and for all of your hard work on this program.  To my fabulously talented cast, thank you for making this show such a mysterious and fun smash hit! All of you made this show an absolute delight to direct. I appreciate all the hours of hard work and dedication that each of you put forth in bringing this dark and mysterious show from the page to the stage!!

       Thank you is also due to my fellow department members, Clay Czlapinski, Amanada Skousen, Dr. Raymond Brown, Nathan Keller and Josh Zuehlsfdorff, who during my time of need, really came through to help make this show happen. When I had to be out for surgery and recovery, they stepped up to the plate and supervised a rehearsal! Thank you for your support and recognition that "the show must go on!"

    To my incredible Instructional Aid, Kian Wilbur, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support with both school and show needs. Without you, I know this school year would not have gone so smoothly! The students and I are lucky to have you! Hope we get the pleasure of working with you again next year!

    Thanks are also due to our fearless leader and Department Supervisor, Karen Marzka who goes to the mat for us, often. We appreciate all that you do everyday for this school. We see you and all of our administrators out there taking care of business. We aplaud you!

     I'd also like to thank the parents, guardians and friends of all of our cast and crew, for allowing them to give us so much of their time to help bring this show to fruition. We need them and they need you!

     Finally, I would like to thank you, our patrons, for joining us this evening. For it is you whom we do it all for. Without further ado, it is with great pride and humility that I welcome you to our production of Clue. Now we ask that you sit back and enjoy the show.
