A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR I have always felt that theatre is a safe place for anyone to be anything they could imagine. A place where everyone belongs and you can forget the problems of the world for a little while. A place where you can find a new best friend and share memories that will last a lifetime. I've spent 22 years trying to create this space for the youth of the Capital Region, not realizing that the children I worked with were giving me the same exact experience that I worked so hard to give them. A year ago this week, my life changed with the sudden passing of my father. It's been one of the biggest struggles and adjustments of my life. Besides the love from family and friends, what helped me the most was that I was working on a production of Matilda Jr. at the time. Three days a week, two hours a day, the cast, crew, and production staff gave me that safe space that I needed so badly. How grateful I was to have a place that could make me smile again! Towards the end of our run, I started to realize that I wouldn't have that escape or safe space anymore, and that's when the Galway Players reached out to ask if I would direct their fall show. Of all of their choices in the region, I was flattered to be their first choice, but–knowing that it would be a difficult weekend for me–I wasn't sure that I would be able to commit to the task. I finally realized that the world was giving me an opportunity to do what I love and to help me once again through what could be a difficult time. Thank you to the Galway Players for being patient with me making this decision, one that I'm very glad I said yes to. I am grateful to each of our cast members, their families, and the amazingly talented and creative team that came together to present this year's Galway Players production of Elf the Musical Jr. I hope you all found a place to belong, a place where you felt safe and accepted, and that you are proud of what we created. We hope that our telling of this Christmas classic brightens your spirits and gets you in a sparklejollytwinklejingley mood that lasts all season long. Thank you for coming to our show and supporting youth theatre. SINCERELY, JOE SHAVER 3
