This year’s production has been one of many challenges. Creating and performing a musical in a pandemic is not something that many people attempt, but our amazing team has combined the unique and varied talents of over sixty students, staff and community members. The entire ensemble would like to say a very special thank you to the following:
- Dr. Gray, Dr. Asmus, Mr. Einsweiler, and Mr. Smith for their continued support and help, not only in this production but with the entire theater program.
- The parents, teachers, coaches and staff of Nevada High School for their care and feeding of our young people. Your cooperation and understanding of the huge time commitment necessary for the success of this production has fueled our efforts.
- Dan, Mike, Soukiang and Dave for their help and understanding of our messes and for keeping the theater clean and safe.
- Mrs. Thacker, Alan Erickson and our amazing students for your incredible work on our set. Thank you for making the set tell the story.
- Joe Wakeman for the countless odds and ends that keep the auditorium running.
- Eileen Miller and Lynne Mumm for creating costumes and helping us bring the story to life.
- The Nevada Music Parents for being our constant support while bringing the arts to life.
- Christian Schneiders, Brady Sutton and Barb Mittman for keeping the beat going in the orchestra pit.
- Marissa Lindemann, Drew Hillman, Kira Brockman, and Mel Khounsourath for their work with Cub TV highlighting our show.
- Rachel Kennedy for capturing our show through photography

You use your amazing talents to take an idea for a show and bring it to life in a way that stays true to the story and brings us a brilliant performance.
