How exciting! Tonight is our first dress with orchestra. We all have been waiting for tonight for the past three weeks. What an amazing cast at the hands of director Gary Briggle and maestro Jeffrey Powell. This has been an amazing journey of discovery. We all made the characters our own, each day discovering a new layer to such intriguing characters. This has been an amazing experience and I have grown both as an artist and person.
And now, a few thank yous:
Dayton Opera (Tom Bankston, Pam Eyekin, Church Duritsch and Wendy Merkert), thank you for entrusting us with such a great show.
Gary, thank you for guiding us and helping us explore this masterpiece. Thank you for trusting us and letting us experiment, search, discover, and grow. I have learned so much from you!
Jeff, you're a star. We know we are in good hands. Not only you are a great conductor, but a great friend.
Milena Ostojich, you are the best stage manager-what would/will we do without you?
Matty Sayre (asst. stage manager), thank you for your patience and keeping us on track. Sorry for knocking down the props table.
