A musical of this magnitude is never produced in a vacuum. It is a collective work of so many moving parts and generous people. Thank you to:
- Mrs. Jean Heil for donating Annie's Red Dress. Congratulations on the promotion to St. Ambrose Principal, 2016-2017.
- Mr. John Manoogian, Granite City High School Theatre Director, for the loan of a portion of our costumes and props! Go Warriors!
- Mr. Rodger Petrotka, retired contractor extraordinaire, who listened intently, drew our set plans, and guided the construction of the wooden stairs and platforms. You are such a blessing!
- Mr. Gerry Mattix-Wand, East Alton-Wood River High School Technical Services Director, for his tireless work with our audio and lighting systems. You are a cut above!
- Mrs. Paula Mattix-Wand, Campus Minister, for her watch over our cast and crew to ensure that all is well. Mrs. Mattix-Wand also doubled this year as the Troupe Barber. Her handiwork may be seen on Mr. Warbuck's head.
- Mrs. Wooten, Trinity's Mom, for bringing chips, cookies, and beverages for 50 students to last Saturday's practice. You are a life saver!
- Mr. Michael Brooks, Coach and Health Teacher, and the 1st Hour Physical Education Class for helping to set up chairs. Thanks, Coach!
- Miss Rachel Kallal, Coach and English Teacher, and the 2nd Hour Physical Education Class for helping to set up chairs. Thanks, Ladies.
- Members of the 4b and 5a Choirs for helping to set up chairs and folding programs. You're the best!
- Mrs. Tracy Shepard, Anthony's Mom, for providing the Tiffany's box so central to our plot.
- Ms. Lynise Oseland, Media Center, for taking photographs of our production rehearsal.
- Miss Megan Jackson, English Teacher, for your help in casting this production.
- The "Team of Donors" who unselfishly purchased 8 wireless microphones and 16 associated cords for theatrical and musical productions. Thank you!
- Students Anna Dixon and Alexis Hoeft for allowing us to use your art on stage.
- Last, but far from least, Mrs. Molly Velikis for one hundred and one tasks related to the visual arts and this production. Also, Mrs. Velikis' MCHS Art Club. In honor of Mrs. Velikis and Club, the upper left side of Oliver Warbucks' Art Gallery on the set is furnished with art by MCHS student artists. Most significantly, the picture of the "Mona Lisa", vital to our play, has been renamed and photo substituted to be the "Molly Lisa". We honor you and treasure our creative relationship. Thank you!
