D I R E C T O R S N O T E S
Theatre has always had the power to bring people together to tell stories, spark emotions, and create unforgettable moments. With this concert, we set out to do just that: celebrate the art of musical theatre while showcasing the remarkable talent of our Passion Project Company.
This production is a true labor of love Featuring 26 musical theatre numbers, this show has been an ambitious undertaking, but with a cast and creative team as dedicated and passionate as this one, every challenge has been met with enthusiasm and determination.
The performers you see on stage tonight are not only incredibly gifted artists but also individuals who have poured their hearts into every song, every harmony, and every movement. Their dedication to their craft, their willingness to push boundaries, and their unshakable support for one another is what makes this project so special.
What excites me most about this concert is the opportunity to bring our Passion Project Company to the forefront. This initiative has given adult performers a space to explore, take risks, and thrive in a supportive theatre environment.
I am endlessly grateful to our creative team, technical director, and crew for their unwavering commitment to bringing this show to life. To our audiences thank you for being here, for supporting local theatre, and for celebrating the arts with us. Your presence means the world to every performer on this stage
I hope you enjoy this evening of music, passion, and pure theatrical joy.
