This year’s Production Team is so excited to see the show come to life. It seemedlike a big job at first, but once everything fell into place, it was an amazingfeeling. This job opened our eyes to a new world of leadership skills. This year’screw did a great job. We can’t wait to come back and see what you guysaccomplish in the future. Everyone has been so great letting us figure out how towork with the crew, and we want to thank everyone for being so supportive. Break Legs,The Production TeamFrom the moment we stepped into the Renaissance and beganrehearsing with our talented cast and crew, we knew we were creatingsomething truly eggs-traordinary. Since the start of rehearsals in February,our company has been dedicated to bringing this hilarious, high-energy,and delightfully absurd world to life.Something Rotten! is a joyful celebration of creativity, ambition, and thechaos that sometimes comes with chasing your dreams—perfect themesfor a collaborative theatre experience. From making cobblestone tochoreographing tap numbers, painting sets to perfecting Shakespeareanswagger, our students have been at the heart of every step in theprocess. We believe deeply in educational theatre that gives young artiststhe opportunity to explore all aspects of a production—and this one hasoffered plenty to explore!To our audience: Thank you for supporting live theatre and the work ofthese incredible students. We hope you laugh loudly, clap enthusiastically,and maybe even leave humming about that Bottom brother brilliance.To the Cast, Crew, and Production Team: Thank you for your humor,creativity, and months of dedication. Whether you were inventing themusical or quoting the Bard, we hope this journey has been unforgettable—and that you’ll think of us fondly anytime you hear a lute, eat anomelette or hear someone say, “Welcome to the Renaissance.”Break Legs and Keep it Rotten,Lubin, Rapp, and LogPS Remember…there’s nothing as amazing as a MUSICAL!Director’s NoteDirector’s NoteProduction team noteProduction team note
