I am extremely proud of this production. The quality of the cast, technical crew, and costume crew are outstanding. A truly successful production however, involves more than what is presented on stage. It should not only be an artistic learning experience, but a personal one as well. I'm especially proud of the cooperation, mutual respect, the level of commitment, and the teamwork that has been demonstrated by everyone involved with this production. These students have put egos aside and discovered that whether they had one line or fifty, were on or off stage, that everyone shares equally in the pride and success of such an accomplishment.

We are excited to bring this popular 80's classic to the WMS stage. It's hard to believe it, but the original film opend up 34 years ago in 1984. For those of you who were around when the film came out, I am sure you can remember the classic songs and memorable story that Kevin Bacon and the rest of the cast brought to the silver screen. I remember purchasing the original soundtrack on a cassette tape and wearing it out from playing it so much. Despite the time that has passed, this story is still relevant today. The message of fighting for what you belive in and and the friendships that impact our lives still rings in our ears. Even though the WMS students have no idea how fun and exciting the 1980's actually were, I hope you enjoy the slice of the past that we will present on the stage this evening.

Please be sure to take a moment and silence your phones and other electronic devices. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show!

Thank you, Brian R. Engelmeyer
