This year's production combined the unique and varied talents of over 30 students, staff, and community members. The entire ensemble would like to say a very special thank you to the following people:
Jumpstart Theater program - for taking a chance on us, a little school here in Clayton County that has never had a drama program before. For providing us with the resources and assistance we needed. For making sure we were kept in the loop. For reaching out via email and zoom. We thank you for rocking with us and can't wait for this partnership to grow stronger.
The Transportation department at CCPS - for those last second bus requests that you granted and for providing us with super drivers who were understanding and loving to our students, we are thankful.
Robert Hindsman - for his continued support and help and helpful hints, not only to this production, but also to the inaugrual On Pointe Players drama club. For knowing how and when to push to get the best out of each performer, for bringing the joy, for looking into our minds and seeing the vision, for helping us to love this drama thing, we are indebted.
Shelby Folks - for her support and help with keeping everything organized and providing us with quick answers when we needed them, we are thankful.
Ms. Rainwater- for her assistance in our last moments of rehearsals and for helping us set up the stage, lights, sound system as well as teaching our kiddos how to use the equipment, we are grateful.
Mr. Rodgriguez - for his assistance in calming our nerves and providing a group of guide students to get us through our first production. For holding our hands and telling us it would be ok, we are humbled.
Marcus Phelps - for patiently answering the flurry of hurried emails and responding with grace and clarity. For teaching us about the sound system, we are appreciative.
Dr. Wiley- for taking the idea of the drama club at PSMS by the horns and offering us all the help you could. For the late night emails, texts, phone calls and prayers, we are at ease.
Britney Lee - for keeping us on our toes, making sure we did what we were supposed to do and when, for keeping our chairs warm when we were caught in traffic, for making us laugh, for making us kind of really like this drama club thing, for being uniquely you at all times, for being our sister, we thank you, we are beholden to you.

To our administrative staff; Mrs. Grant, Ms. Endow and Mr. Stephens: thank you, thank you, thank you!! The On Pointe Players at PSMS could not have done this without your willingness to stay late with us, for offering us resources on the school level, for giving us the freedom to take over various parts of the building, for letting us 'go left' when we knew we were right, for letting us take students on random field trips, for listening when we have said the same things multiple times, for for being the best leaders at any school in CCPS, we choose you each and every time!! We are blessed to have you all!
