Notes from the Director
To our Admin, Teachers, and Staff at Oakland Middle School:
Words hardly express my gratitude for the unwavering support you've shown our musical theater program. Your belief in the power of this art form and your commitment to our students has truly made a world of difference.
Thanks to your dedication, we've been able to create a space where students can explore their creativity, build confidence, and discover a love for performance. But your support goes far beyond the tangible. You've championed the importance of the arts in our school, recognizing the invaluable lessons learned on stage that translate to every aspect of a student's life.
Your encouragement has fostered a collaborative environment among teachers, fostering a love of the arts that permeates our entire school. Because of you, our students have a platform to shine, memories that will last a lifetime, and the skills to pursue their dreams, both on and off the stage.
Thank you for being champions of the arts, for allowing young voices to be heard, and for believing in the magic of musical theater. We are incredibly grateful.
To our Parents and Family Members:
As the curtain falls on another incredible season, my heart overflows with gratitude for each and every one of you. The magic we create on stage wouldn't be possible without your dedication. You've tirelessly given your time, energy, water, and snacks to ensure our students have a truly enriching experience.
We know musical theater requires a village, and you guys are the heart of ours. You've championed your child's passion, fostered their confidence, and instilled in them the importance of teamwork and perseverance. Your willingness to volunteer, by taking pictures and videos, taking tickets, hanging out backstage and quietly encouraging them, as well as every other little things has created a truly collaborative environment where everyone feels valued.
The countless hours you dedicate go far beyond the stage. You're teaching valuable life lessons – about dedication, responsibility, and the joy of working towards a common goal. You're fostering a love for the arts that will stay with them long after the final curtain call.
Thank you for believing in our program, in our students, and in the power of musical theater. We are incredibly grateful for your partnership in making this a truly unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
To our Audience and Community Members:
Seeing the auditorium filled with smiling faces – parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends – is truly inspiring. Your enthusiastic applause fuels our cast and crew, and your laughter fills the room with pure joy.
This production wouldn't have been possible without your support. You show our students the power of community, the importance of storytelling, and the sheer magic that happens when we come together to celebrate the arts.
Whatever the reason for joining us, your presence made a world of difference. Thank you for believing in our students, in the power of theater, and for sharing this special experience with us.
