Parents and Cast Members

I'd like to apologize to anyone who was uncomfortable with the extreme "blue humor" of the parody written and performed by the tech crew for the show.  Typically the script is not shown to me prior to performance so that I too can be surprised by the parody.  I was indeed surprised and some of the things in the parody would not have been approved by me, had I looked at the script in advance.

 

I trust that you all know that I would never purposely make anyone uncomfortable and want people's  memories of the play to be happy ones.  I know this to be true of the tech crew as well, who no doubt were "blowing off some steam" after a long process of being very careful not to embarrass the young ones in the show.  

Again, please accept my humble apologies and know that in the future I will request to see a copy of the script before the parody is performed on future closing nights.  We had a wonderful run and I thank each of you for helping to contribute to the success of "Annie".
