Theatre requires so much work from so many people. It is a collaborative effort like no other. Below is a list of some of the people I’d like to thank.
Barbara Macko and David Gunter, thanks so much for partnering with APOMH to produce Sixty-Minute Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night’s Dream. I am so proud of the work you’ve done with the Acting Class and the amazing NFHS Techies.
John Hutchinson, thank you for your sage advice, always being willing to play devil’s advocate, and especially for your work on the music in the show! It is one of my favorite parts of the play.
Jamie Summerour, thank you for giving input, offering suggestions, and acting as my therapist on more than one occasion.
Drama Booster Board, thank you for helping this department run smoothly and doing so many things I’d never be able to do myself. Whether it's maintaining the budget, staying organized, communicating to the masses, or one of the other 40,000 things you do, know that I appreciate all your hard work.
Thank you to the Drama Boosters and Volunteers! If you helped make this playbill, designed our banners, or if you are selling snacks and t-shirts or feeding the children in the show, or anything else beyond what you are required to do, I thank you. I could not do this without you.
John and Donna Vara, thanks for lending us so much of your awesome collection of military equipment. It adds so much to the show by helping ground it in reality.
Fred Scanling, thanks for sharing your experiences with the cast and giving them some insights into the home front during the Vietnam War era.
Brenden Love, thank you for letting us play with your sound equipment and helping us perfect the sound for this play. It added more than you know.
Huge special thanks to April Walden, you contributed more to this show than I think either of us could have imagined. I appreciate the constant support and you believing in me every step of the way. I couldn’t be happier that you see this show as much of a passion project as I do.
APOMH Crew, thanks for the phenomenal work on this show. The plan was for this show to be one of our simplest; however, something went awry. Building the set and gathering the props was a grind. Costuming with so much direction was a challenge. Lighting a show in a matter of days with completely new equipment was a test… one we passed… barely. And satisfying my sound wants and needs was a near impossibility. Note the “near”.
