This production was only made possible by all the incredible helpers we've had along the way. So, a massive thank you to:
Monsignor Dwyer for helping to coordinate this show and doing everything in his power to make the job of the director as easy as possible.
Gina Fonte for always supporting the production in any way you can and helping to execute my ideas for the show!
Rita McCabe for being the technological superhero that she is. No matter what, you can rely on Rita McCabe to fix any problem or build any website. Thank you for everything, Rita! You're the best.
Chris Brown, Junior, and the rest of the team for the myriad of things you did to make this show a reality—from replacing the stage lights at the last minute, to making sure our audience had somewhere to sit. So much of this show is a result of everything you guys have done, so for that, I cannot thank you all enough!
Chris Hanretty for building most of the beautiful sets you see before you. Chris volunteered his time and energy to this show out of the goodness of his heart. He even came in on his rare time off to help us. Thank you, Chris!!
Lisa Hooper for helping to get this show off of the ground. It is not an exaggeration to say that this show wouldn't have happened without her—it truly wouldn't have. As the previous director at RES before Covid, she served as both a mentor and a guardian angel for planning this show. Most of the Oompa Loompa costumes were her idea! Thank you so much, Lisa.
Lauren Gonzalez and Amy Graziano for helping to create this behemoth of a program. It was a massive undertaking, and it came out great. Thank you for the countless hours it took to put together this beautiful program you have created.
Deirdre Fonseca for helping me keep track of the budget and helping us to buy all of our beautiful props and costumes. No matter what, Deirdre was always there to help me!
Wanda Urgo for helping to organize all of our props, and for organizing the entire golden ticket contest! Not only did she make the adorable golden tickets, but she also created the gift baskets for the winners as well. And, as my plate got filled with more responsibilities closer to the show, she even made my life easier by helping me search for / buy some of our props and decorations! Thanks a million, Mrs. Urgo!
Aimee Dimiero for creating countless adorable graphics to help promote the show. Even the front page of our program is a result of her selfless work.
Laura Biktjorn for graciously donating her time and art supplies to help to paint the sets. Thank you Mrs. Biktjorn!
Patty Mathews for creating and donating our posters! Aren't they great?
Aidan St. P. Walsh for donating his time and photographing our performance!
Loraine Maggio and Joanna Moore: For your many donations and contributions to our show, not limited to your time! In fact, the giant unicorn from the raffle was her donation!
And you, for everything you've done to help make this show a reality.
