A Special Shout out to the following 3 year Theatre Students:

Aidan Buchanan– Thank you for allowing your sister Abby to convince you to audition for the first play your 6th grade year (The Audition). You have come so far in these 3 years and I can’t wait to see what more you can do in High School. Ashley Cook– Thank you for being so willing to branch out and try new things this year by being by my side at all of the rehearsals. I have enjoyed getting to know you and I see so much of me in you that sometimes I forget you are only in 8th grade. You are one of the most mature and driven young women I have ever worked with. Don’t you dare change!

Olivia Goodman– You have grown so much as an actress and as a lovely young lady over the last three years. I feel truly blessed to have been able to work with you.

Jessica Gordon– Thank you for letting me make you a Oompa Loompa your 6th grade year. You have come so far since then and I know that if you continue with theatre and choir you will only become an even greater woman.

Alex Lopez– No matter what role you are in the show you always are able to find the humor in it. I have been so lucky to have worked with you. Madi Shaw– Words can’t even describe you. You are truly a special individual. I don’t know if I have ever met a child with so much self confidence in who they are and that cared so little about what other people thought of them. You are someone that I feel that I can still learn something from. Oh, and thanks for always dressing in drag.

Brittany Wood– You are such a modest and talented young woman. The world truly can be your stage if you want it to be. You have the talent and drive that I don’t see very often. Use it and I know that you will become successful no matter what you do.
