I could not have directed this play without the help of some very special individuals, and I would be remiss not to thank them.
First, I have to thank my stage manager Luke Marotto. He has been a part of the process from day one, and his time, dedication, and insight have made this production possible. I am also endlessly grateful to the rest of the tech and stage crew, with a special shoutout to Khoushnaf Mohamed for all of his work on the audio and light cues.
I want to thank my "veteran" SWHS theatre members for welcoming in a new group of actors; in particular, I would like to shout out seniors Rowan Pott and Allyson Benblatt, as well as Claire Correale, Meghan Sands, and Payton Carr. I have had the pleasure of working with these students on several previous occasions, and always appreciate the way that they lead by example.
Thank you to Lana Kim and Riley Frasier for creating the artwork that has been used in our promotions! I am so happy to be able to showcase student talent beyond the stage as well.
Thank you as well to Becky Correale, Jereme Martineau, Bryn Chandler, Mark and Renu Cabbot, and the Parents of Performers for keeping me on track with what needs to be done and for helping out in innumerable ways. Without you I would have been truly lost.
Finally, thank you for coming to see the show and for supporting the arts in our schools!
