 Acknowledgements 

This year's production combined the unique and varied talents of over thirty students.  The entire ensemble would like to say a very special thank you to the following people:

 

  • Daniel Birdsong for his extraordinary musical talents and for taking time to work with the students involved in this production.
  • Dianne Johnson for her continued support of not only McAdory's theatre program, but arts programs accross the county.
  • Antjuan Marsh for being ever amazing to us, especially for the countless hours of performance critiques and traveling to our competitions! But mostly we appreciate his support; see you opening night!
  • Tod Humphries for his immediate support upon coming to McAdory and his cooperation through all the weather trials this semester.
  • Brent Shaw and Melinda Ganus for maintaining the peace during matinees and their ceaseless support of the students and staff involved in our productions.
  • Beckey Weaver, Asa Davis, and all the custodial staff -- what would we do without you?! Thank you especially for finding (uncovering) props and assistance with all the little stuff (and big ladders) that is so often overlooked.
  • Ms. P for her endless amounts of glue and other last minute art supplies.
  • Keith Gwin for his awesome woodworking skills.
  • Sandra Pappas for measuring, sewing,daily support and sanity-keeping. 
  • Byron Pappas for undying support and set assistance.

Notes from the Director:

 

First, I would like to extend my gratitude and thanks to the faculty, staff, and parents of McAdory High School.  So much goes into a production we couldn't do it without your cooperation and support.

 

Finally, to my seniors:  It is always so bittersweet for me to watch my seniors' final performance.  Each of one of you are so amazing and words can't express how proud I am of each of you.  I have known some of you since you were little middle schoolers and it has been a joy to see you grow and mature over the past years.  Regardless of how long you have been a part of this program, though, each of you hold a special place in our hearts.  You definitely left your mark at McAdory and words can't express how greatly you'll be missed.
