Seussical Jr. - May 05 - May 07, 2023

John F. Deering Middle School

   Director's Note   

 

 

 

         Stepping into a program as cherished, respected, and full of talent as the DMS Players, we knew we would have some big shoes to fill. For the past few years, DMS had to pause with our tradition of excellence in theatre, but we are honored to continue the legacy created by Mrs. McIntosh and Mrs. Hopkins twenty-five years ago. With our motto this year being, “The show must go on,” the students on this stage truly outdid themselves and surpassed all of our expectations. We are very lucky to work with such wonderfully kind and talented students. Thank you for coming with us into the wild world of Seuss.

 

      Thank you to our wonderful administrators, Mrs. Furtado, Ms. Wesson, Mr. Alves, and Mrs. Mageira who supported us bringing back this program. Also, to Mrs. Karen Tarasevich and the whole administrative team, thank you for your unconditional support.

 

      Thank you to property services, Ken Townsend, Chris Mann, Adam Gil, the custodial staff at both DMS and WWHS for all of your help and guidance throughout this new chapter of DMS theatre. We truly appreciate the heavy lifting you put in.

 

      Thank you to Rikki Spelman and Richard Marchetti for answering all three million of our questions and being the best role models and mentors we could ask for. 

 

      Thank you to all of the parents, families, and community members who continue to make this possible with your unconditional support each and every show. We truly could not have done this without you. Shoutout to Aimee Lowe for our amazing headshots!

 

      Finally, thank you to Mrs. Melkoun for joining the DMS Players family and helping us sound as amazing as we did, welcome to DMS.

 

 

Matthew Healey and Alysha Melkoun
