All of the Wizard of Oz parents who helped make this show possible by helping behind the scenes with props, costumes, alterations, monitoring little cast members, food, snacks, water, transportation, patience this week with long dress rehearsals, (prayers!), and helping us spread the word through conversations and social media posts. It truly takes a village and we are beyond grateful for your support! Thank you!

HHS Administration (Jason Parish, Alex Lopez, Chanelle Scott, Heath Lakin, Shantel Phelps) who supported the show with words of support and encouraged Wizard of Oz door decorating campus-wide to promote the activities this weekend. Thank you!

 

Mike Pope at New Mexico Screen Art for the cast tshirts.

 

Hollie Page and the wonderful ladies at Central Office who helped so much with getting everything paid for and delivered, even when it was crazy and everything was on a short timeline, thank you for your patience and your determination to help us figure it out so this show could happen!

 

The entire cast and crew: this is the first musical HHS has done since the COVID shut down and we took on a BIG one! Thank you for your professionalism, your sticktoitiveness, and your ability to overcome. A show like this doesn’t just happen- it takes passionate people willing to put in the time and the effort necessary to see it through. You guys are all rock stars! Thank you for your perseverance and Mr. Colson and I hope to see you continue with theatre and choir in the future- you are all stars!

 

Thank you to Mr. Kelly for putting in who knows how many additional hours to make sure this show looks as cool as possible. You always make us look so good! Thank you for all your hard work to make things look effortless on stage.

 

Thank you to Mr. Colson- this is a monster of a first musical for our new choir teacher to tackle his second year, but you have hit a home run! To think so many of these students had not really sung at all until about 7 weeks ago! Cheers to the first of many, Mr. Colson, Hobbs High is so blessed to have you!
