A Note From The Directors Melisa and Jeb would like to give a special thanks to Lauren Rude, Trevor Turnbow, and Jacob Bergman for creating the soundscape of our show; Jesse Kodama and Aaron Lamm for their stage management skills during the run of the show; Branden Jacobs-Jenkins for this inventive, funny, stubborn, and sometimes heartbreaking script. And, last but not least, a very special thanks to our entire cast for their imagination, commitment, talent, and curiosity.

May we always take a moment in our lives to accept LOVE. And may we do so before it’s too late.

And so it is.
