Acknowledgements
The Ayala Theatre Company’s production of The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon would not have been possible without the support, trust, and hard work of an entire community.
A special thank-you to our principal, Diana Yarboi, and assistant principals Nathan Hale, James Newcomb, Whitney Schiller, and John Kunishimi. Your leadership and support of the arts make productions like this possible.
A huge than-you to Mrs. Madeline Sherratt, for selecting this play and casting the show last spring. Your foresight allowed us to hit the ground running this fall, and your continued help supervising the crew has been invaluable. If you ever have to follow in someone's footsteps, may they be has generous and supportive as Mrs. Sherratt has to me.
A heartfelt thank-you to Mr. Robert Davis for assisting with lights and sound. Your generosity has helped our show shine. We’re also grateful for our “triple threat” students who sing with you and dance with Mrs. Christina Hoffstetter. You two make great VAPA department chairs.
Our deepest appreciation to Cheryl and Kirk Lane, for teaching our students the light board, sound board, and set-building techniques, and for being constant supporters of the Ayala Theatre Company. Your mentorship and technical expertise have shaped both this production and the next generation of theatre artists.
And to the Chino Community Children's Theatre - our show wouldn't be possible without your collaboritve community spirit. Thank you!

To my wife, Jina Tintor, and my mother-in-law, Susan Hwang, thank you for your endless patience and support during rehearsal season, and for helping watch and pick up our girls so I can be at rehearsal..
To our parent community, thank you for showing up, for stepping in, and for standing behind these students and this work.
