I am extremely proud of each and every student in this cast. We took on this very difficult show, and all of you committed yourselves to doing what needed to be done to ensure this show's success. I am impressed at the level of dedication and maturity I witnessed over the last three months. Many of you sacrificed hours and hours of your time for line memorization, and all of that hard work shows now. Throughout this process, I have witnessed all of you grow as performers, as students of literature, and as an organization. I am so proud of how far you have come, and I know that this foundational show will serve us well in the future. Thank you for believing in the vision and for your cooperation, respect, and enthusiasm. You make my job so rewarding. I look forward to working with all of you on future productions.
