Thank you for joining us for our production of Super Happy Awesome News. This production has been our most ambitious show to date as a lower school, and I hope you find it as charming and engaging as I do! I am so proud of the entire cast for their relentless effort, playful spirits, willinginess to learn, and of course, their immense talent.
This production has been a learning curve for all of us. I could have never dreamt of being able to direct and produce a virtual musical and here we are! These actors impress me daily with their flexibility and talent. These past six months have been hard for all of us. I know we all wish we could be back in the drama room rehearsing or performing on the stage at The Township. I know I sure miss the “Break-a-leg” hug I give out to every actor before curtain on opening night. But spending time with these actors and seeing their faces everyday, reminds me that our future is bright. We will all get through these trying times together, stronger than ever. I am beyond grateful for this cast and crew.
I hope you enjoy this wonderful production. It would not have been possible without the help and endless support from some of the greatest people in the world.
