It has been 544 days since Ridgewood High School last had a musical on the stage. In this unprecedented era of theatre, we are so grateful to our frontline workers, nurses, doctors, retail workers, teachers, and our parents. Through it all, we have seen and exprienced so much. Without our teams of support, none of this would be possible. Specifically, we are grateful for the help, the support, and love from the following: Mrs. Gina Costellano, Dr. Jen Kelsall, Mr. Tom Parrillo & The District 234 Board Members, Friends of Our Thespians (FOOT), Illinois Thespians, Educational Theatre Association, Joe Ringelstein, Megan Cantos, Maggie Molnar, Pam Mundy, Bernie Moore, Sarah Machaj, RHS Student Council Members, Pat Rossi, Jim Dudek, Tom Sticha, Dave McCormick, & the entire RHS Maintenance Staff, Sir Speedy Printing in Edison Park, Alicia Smith, Margaux Smith, Katarzyna Butryn, Tristan Kumor, David Hawk, Eric Lasky, Robert St. John, Claudia Barlea, Beth Hanses, Katie Davis, Dr. Mike Maiorano, Lisa Balata, Steven Schmidt, Carl Schorsch, Giovanna Gianfortone, and all of the faculty, staff, and family members who support us!

THESPIANS
The International Thespian Society is an honor society for student involved in their school's theatre and drama programs. Ridgewood High School is a proud member of ITS and is recognized as Troupe 6662. Each year several students are honored by being inducted as a member of the Society. Inductees must have completed at least one hundred hours of work on both sides of production (acting & technical), participated in a Ridgewood Drama Club community service project, and a Drama Club fundraiser. We note students who are memebers of Troupe 6662 by showing an astrick (*) next to their name. Honor Thespians, those who have worked more than six-hundred hours, are indicated with an additional carrot symbol (^). Additional honors, including academic honors, are bestowed upon graduating Thespians during the Ridgewood High School Graduation Ceremony. Please join us by showing appreciation for this dedication to the art of theatre by applauding for all of our students & keeping phones away during the show. Thank you for your patronage.
