I would like to thank RCT for letting me direct this show, and GreenQube for sponsoring it.
I would also like to thank my amazing stage manager, Westley Terry and his backstage crew for doing such a good job keeping the show going.
Thanks to Heather Terry for the wonderful costumes, Monika Locke for the amazing looking set, and Mark Graham for the building of this set.
Thanks to Jenn Kilpatrick for the beautiful photos.
Last but not least, I want to thank this awesome cast. This cast has worked so hard on this show. They showed up for rehearsals ready to go, and most of them were off book 3 – 4 weeks into rehearsals which makes my job easier.
