D I R E C TO R N O T E S Another season comes to a close. Thank you to everyone who has participated and supported our program. Because of you, we are successful. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been a fun challenge—a kids show. We have never done something like this! With the children’s story and iconic characters from two versions of the story that everyone is familiar with, we were challenged to bring to life this classic story. We have modernized some of the characters and have made the Oompa-Loompas fun and vibrant. This show demonstrates the talent the Hamilton Drama Program has to share with you, both acting and singing. With this show, we say goodbye to our talented seniors. They have left their mark with the Hamilton Drama Program—I’m so proud of you and honored that you were part of the drama family here. Thank you for letting me into your lives and sharing your talent on this stage. Also, this show was put together as a team. Both Dede Paquette and I worked ingeniously together with the technical creativity of Steve Rader, John Washbush, Darcy Devens and Dean Wicker. Thank you to everyone involved in this production. Our shows continue to set the bar a little higher every time! This production came together because everyone worked together! Thank you to my friends, family and babies! You are the best! Thank you to the families and the Drama Booster Club, who unconditionally help the Drama Program. Without you, we wouldn’t be as successful.
