This is a special shoutout page to help acknowledge everyone who has made this production possible. We thank each and every one of you for helping out so much over the process of this show. We are so thankful that you all could have been a part of makking this dream become a reality!
Acknowledgments:
Brandie Coleman, Tom, and the Herrin Civic Center - Thank you so much for once again allowing us to use the Herrin Civic Center as our home base and our performance location for our musical production. This seriously could not have been possible without you all doing everything you did for us. We are beyond thankful!
MiKayla Oetjen - Thank you so much for being a part of a Bear Productions show once again. As a senior, you have helped guide everyone through this process and made sure to stay kind to all newcomers for this production. We sincerely appreciate everything you did to make an impact on this company, and if there happens to be another production next year, we hope you take one more trip with us before heading off to do bigger and better things!
All Parent Volunteers - Thank you so much for dedicating your time to monitor the kids during dress rehearsals and helping us in any ways you are able. A special shoutout to Jamie Parish for volunteering for more than 75% of our rehearsals. You were a huge help, as well as everyone else!
Kristin Preble - Thank you so much for spending so much of your time building almost all of our sets for us! You have helped make our show look so much better, and we would have no idea how to do all of our set pieces if it weren't for you.
Chris Harris - Thank you so much for guiding us through our journey on how to hook up our sound in the best way possible. Because of you, the kids on stage will look better and be heard better, and we couldn't express our gratitude enough.
Jace Burns, Lanori Cole, & Aubrey Hefferman - Thank you so much for being the only three cast members who have been in every show Bear Productions has produced. You can seriously say that you have been there from the very beginning, supporting all the way to now.
Finally, our Cast, Crew, and all Audience Members - Thank you so much for supporting and loving what we do so much. It has made a huge difference just knowing that you support every second of what we do for our very own Southern Illinois, and we couldn't have been exactly where we are right now if it weren't for each and every one of you. Please continue to support live and local theater!
