Producing a musical, even a concert style one-act, during a pandemic is complicated. It is a true labor of love. This cast and this production team met and rehearsed via Zoom during January and February, and returned to campus with roughly two weeks to acclimate to the stage, sing together for the first time, and make this show performance ready. It was done during long rehearsals on the weekends and stolen pockets of afternoon time.
We did it because we could not imagine a year without a musical. We did it because we refused to let it be impossible. We did it because, just like Annie, we believe in brighter tomorrows.
You being here with us to share in this moment is an invaluable gift and we thank you so much coming. We hope this show lifts your spirits.
Thank you to everyone who offered words of support, excused students from sports practice, and helped to publicize this event. We especially thank Mr. Roach for his never-ending support of this St. Andrew’s tradition. Since I began working here in 1993, Mr. Roach has maintained a strong sense of commitment to the Theatre Program, supporting us in any way necessary.
We dedicate this production to Mr. and Mrs. Roach for their many years of appreciation and support. We will always have two seats saved just for you.
A SALUTE TO OUR SENIORS!
