Behind the Scenes

As production assistant, I get to see a little more behind the scenes action than others might. Most people don't realize that what goes into making a show complete isn't just the cast and the pit, the people the audience sees and hears. There is the crew for the set, the wonderful costume ladies, our lovely patrons, the director and his wife, and the parents of the cast, crew, and pit members.
The SHS crew always goes above and beyond to make our set the absolute best. What can we say to our costume ladies. They put the show into the appropriate time period and to make us all end up looking perfect for stage. Without the patrons, our show wouldn't bring in nearly enough money to help pay off the bill we have from putting the show together. Will and Heather, they do so much to make the show happen and to cast people where they are perfect to be. But still, without the parents of all these people who need to be at endless amounts of practices, parents of the crew members who spend endless hours creating a set and finding props for crazy stunts, and the parents of the pit who can bring them to pit rehearsals, this show would never happen.
So thank you to each of our behind the scenes people. Actors/actresses are great and all, but there would be no chance of a show happening and having order at rehearsals without all of our behind the scenes people! We owe our show to you!

I know its a little late and no one else will probably read this, but...its worth saying....thank you for noticing and acknowledging the behind the scenes people, not everyone does and not everyone gives a crud about those behind the scenes people and I know that our crew kids and costumers and such often feel left out and forgotten....so it means alot to me personally that some people recognize and make an effort to say "Thanks" and "Good Job"....we need a pat on the back sometimes to....with that said...CHUKAS to all and congrats to all the award winners for the 2007-2008 theatre season!!! And to my crew.....I am most proud of all of you, you stepped it up....
