Presented By Noonan Academy s Drama Club March 18-20, 2016
From the Director... "There's no place like home." To me, home is a place where you feel safe and accepted. I am blessed to call Noonan home. The administration, staff, parents and our wonderful production team are caring people who inspire the students each and every day to do their best. There are so many people to thank for helping us on our wonderful journey to "Oz": To Mrs. Noonan, Mr. Dunn and Mrs. Murphy for all their support and enthusiasm for the Drama Club, to all the parents past and present, friends and family members who have given their time and talents to make this show a success. A very special thank you to Kristina Andrews and Mary Kimak for all their time and patience in helping this whole process run smoothly, to Carrie Szarzynski and Soundworks for their technical talents, to Mike Andrews, Brian McGuire, Russell Klopp and our team of dads for our beautiful set, to Lisa Gray, Lisa Huguelet, Sharon Wilko and the costume moms for all their help with costumes and faith in my decisions, and to Des Mikols and Eric Rehm for their passion, ideas and for challenging the cast in a fun way! Lastly, a big thank you goes out to our wonderful cast for their dedication and hard work on this production. We are all so proud of you! -Mrs. Marta
