Dorrena Carpenter, Ellen McGrory and Carol Novak, thank you for being there and taking care of us.

Behind the cast and crew are individuals who put in a lot of time and energy to make the play a success.

Meredith Marrs (director), Jeff Robinson (vocal director), CJ Brooks (orchestra director), and Jay Mayberry (lighting, sound and props), thank you for all that you have done.

We would like to thank Kathryn Hale for all of her time choreographing some of the numbers and for being patient with us, the cast and crew for all of their dedication, Amy and Andy Hackett for helping with sets, DUHS band members who were in the pit playing music, the Dowagiac Middle School Student Senate and Honor
s Club for ushering, and Keith Klann for selling tickets.

We appreciate all of your help.

Last, but definitely not least, we want to thank our family, friends, classmates, and staff who have given us their support.  If there is anyone we have forgotten accept our apologies.

Thanks again, we hope to see you next spring!
