 Acknowledgements 

This production wouldn't have happened without the hard work and support of many people. We as a production crew and ensemble would like to take a moment to thank all of those people who were involved:

-First and foremost the parents, adults, and guardians of the cast and crew. Your fleixibilty with an ever changing schedule, and supporting your students through this massive undertaking means the world

 

-Interim Superindentant Ms. Lamis Srour, Principal Ms. Rima Hassan, and the rest of the administration at Edsel Ford for continually supporting the performing arts at Edsel Ford and recognizing their importance in a well rounded education.

 

-The Faculty and Staff of Edsel Ford H.S. for helping to form our student into well rounded human beings, and being here to support them!

 

--The entire custodial and engineering staff, we keep weird hours and you are always there with a welcoming smile and a helping hand. Thanks for keeping us and the school running.

 

-Mrs. Sarah Broekhuizen, for allowing us to use her classroom as a dance studio when we needed it and being flexible through the chaos that was March and April in the Perfoming Arts Department.

 

-Gioia Lerini and Margaret Carscadden for volunteering their time to choreograph this entire show and being the best pair of Assistant Directors Mr. Yule could have asked for.

 

-Giana Lerini for finding time in her incredibly full schedule to choreograph all of the fight scenes so the students could be safe and do things in a responsible manner while plastic, metal, and fists are flying.

 

-Dylan Charles for helping design our set and making sure the tech crew was building it properly and safely.

 

-The rest of the alumni crew- thank you for feedback during our rehearsal process and being willing to jump in and help.

 

-Scott Carscadden for donaitng his time, energy, and personal equipment to make sure our lighting and sound design were on point; making sure the students voices were heard, and that they were seen.

 

-Lastly to you the audience, without the whole point of theatre and storytelling is lost. Sharing a compelling story with an active audience truly brings the magic to life.
