Firstly, she would like to thank everyone at Brewyard because without their generosity this show would not exist!  She would like to thank her incredible cast and crew for donating their time and sharing their talents with us. She also needs to say a special thank you to her husband and fellow Artistic Director, Jesse Baxter. His support and encouragement has made this show possible. Finally, thank YOU ALL for joining us tonight; thank you for being a part of this magical community and supporting your local arts!
