Me being a proud dad is still emotional in the back of the house during each number/scene fist pumping to himself.
The humans in this cast… yeesh. It’s sad that this production has to come to an end, but my heart is oh so full. This production would be nothing without these incredible people and the courage and fearlessness that they exuded. Thank you for allowing me and my crazy brain to experiment and constantly explode ideas on to you. I owe you the world.

“Welcome to the show ladies and gentlemen!”
Cut to me being the proud dad fist pumping from the back of the audience after literally every moment in the show and holding back tears.
To say I owe these students is an understatement. I came to their home and asked the absolute most of them. The level of detail, trust, and storytelling they gave exceeded any expectations I might’ve had. Because of their talent and professionalism, we were able to create something dazzling, vulnerable and daring.
To the students, Thank you doesn’t do it, but thank you for saying yes and jumping all in. I will forever and always have your back.
