All Together Now! - November 12 - November 14, 2021

Newport Harbor High School

  a Producer's thanks  

This production could not be possible without the generosity, leadership, and kindness of Dr. Sean Boulton and Mr. Jack Cusick. Both of these administrators tirelessly make themselves available when their plates are overflowing. We would not have a Performing Arts program of any quality without their help.

 

Thank you to Diana Long and the Newport Harbor Educational Foundation for their annual financial support of the Theater Department as well as to the greater Newport Harbor HS community.  

 

Students are the reason we do these productions, and when they step up and take ownership, nothing makes us prouder. So, thank you to the tireless efforts of the Drama Department Clubs -- especially Keira Wilkes and Gabriella Earnhart -- for their bake sale efforts and Gabriella's program artwork!!!

 

Thank you to our custodial staff for keeping the theater and surrounding areas clean during rehearsals and production week. They may not be seen, but their presence is known.

 

A special thanks to Coleen Butler for donating her time photographing headshots for the cast and IB Theater students. Her time and effort with each student can be seen in their relaxed smiles -- not to mention the professional quality of her work.

 

Thank you to the production team of Chris, Erik, Kristina, Allison, and Hector for their time and effort putting this production together. When we haven't seen an audience in eighteen months it can be challenging reintroducing rehearsal and performance expectations, or moving away from the more recent approach of being able to shoot retakes and fixing in editing. 

 

And lastly, thank you, our audiences... those that receive the end results of our students efforts. Your presence is an important element in the success of a theatrical production. Without your energy and reactions, the actors and crew are left to their securities and insecurities for how they did. With you here, they immediately know. So, thank you dearly, and enjoy All Together Now, a musical revue.

 

Mr. Joseph D'Aquino

Theater Department Instructor and Program Director
