Special Thanks
We would like to give a speical thanks to Bella and Bonnie McKinley for painting our scene panels, Laura Calkins for designing pretty much any kind of prop request we throw her way, Heather Black for sewing Buddy's amazing costume, and Rich Welch for bringing to life Evan and Ellie's vision for sets.
Thank you to Matt Slaven who took time at the start of tech week to help set up and educate us on the best way to optimize our sound equiment.
We know there are so many others that have helped and have done more than we probably even know about. So thank you to ALL of the cast member's parents that have pitched in and given so much of their time to help make our production a success.
Last but certainly not least, thank to the the church and the Agape Homeschool Co-Op board for all the extra time you put in with sound, extra rehearsals, and tech week! We appreciate everything you do for us!
