Becky Lewis (Stage Manager)
I could not have imaged all those years ago when we began our Acting Up journey that we would have developed such an amazing cast and crew. Each person is so talented, creative and hardworking. It is truly a joy and honor to watch them shine. I want to thank my husband Drew who is up for any challenge the Rachel and I concoct. I love you very much and appreciate all your help.
Dori Nason (Costumer)
There is almost no place I'd rather be than backstage in a theater! This is my third opportunity costuming a show in Thalian's Stein Theater ("Othello" in 2019 and "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Tme" this past July). Much love to Debbie Scheu and Stephanie Aman who let me be creative with them in the costume shop; to my family who live with the constant clutter of my costuming hobby; and to my Mom who selflessly handcrafted all my outfits for community theater productions since I was eight years old.
Lily Hemingway (Choreographer)
This show is so special to me. It was one of my first real projects and I am always in awe of how professionally the cast executes it.
Break a leg everyone!!
