I am always so excited to direct for STAGE RIGHT on the beautiful, historical Crighton Theatre Stage. A very special THANK YOU to our Producers, Steve and Carolyn Wong and the Board of Directors of STAGE RIGHT, and the Board of Direc-tors of The Crighton Foundation for all of their tremendous support and encourage-ment!

I also would like to thank Dinah Mahlman for her exquisite choreography and Ana Guirola-Ladd for her brilliant musical direction. Both Dinah and Ana have been putting musicals together with me for twenty years now. God Bless them for their Pa-tience with me! Also, it is always so wonderful to work with the fabulous talent of Jill Villalobos, Denise Schmidt-DeBold, Kara Kowalik and our newcomer our costume designer, Abby Cleverly and Master Carpenters, Matt Czahor and Tommy Kowalik!

I have always had an enormous respect for the stage crews, set designers, lighting and sound designers and all of the great talent it takes to produce the mag-nitude of a full length major musical production. I am especially grateful to the Audi-ence for supporting the talent in our community. I always push the cast and crew, to reach their full potential which allows them to release their passion and captivate an audience.

It has been my pleasure and honor to work with a cast and crew so hungry, passionate, professional and eager to put this show together to the very best of their ability for YOU ..... our audience.

After all, what is a show without an Audience that leaves the theatre feeling ex-hilarated and humming the songs from the show, and a cast that knows in their heart that they gave their soul and touched so many lives? That’s what it’s all about to me. – Director, Manny Cafeo
