Director’s Note:It takes a team to bring a production together. I couldn’t have done it without an amazing group to support me in this endeavor. This has been an unreal and new experience which has helped me grow as a director. This show has taught me patience and trust and has brought many smiles and laughs behind the scenes which has been such a blessing in these weird times. So thank you. Thank you to my crew and cast for keeping me sane and smiling! And thank you to our patrons for your continuous support.
