production bios Mr. Paul Buckley ‘86 (Co-Producer) has been producing high school shows for 17 years now, and he loves doing it. He is extremely grateful to Meghan, Allan, Sarah and the Crew Gang of Four for their talent and dedication. He loves the seniors for bringing such a sense of community to this old building. And he is really excited that this old building will be getting a much needed sprucing up very soon. Lastly he thanks his wife Monica for her patience and understanding (and costume expertise), and for Anthony, Caroline and Gabe who are always there to greet him when he gets home with a smile (and a scream or two) on their faces. Messrs. Kevin Ferrick ‘04, Xavier Halloran ‘05, Dean Leong ‘03 & Matt McCord ‘04 (Technical Directors): “Well, they couldn’t keep us away for long; we are back, and this time we are actually in charge of the crew. We are now (mostly) contributing members of society, and somehow we have found time to take over for Mr. Theriaque as Technical Directors. Combined, we have more than twenty shows under our belts, but we still could not have done this without the help of: Mr. Buckley and Mrs. Goldsmith for letting us spend someone else’s money, Mr. L’Etoile and Miss Miller for giving us set direction, and of course the crew for doing all the hard work they have done.” Mrs. Meghan Goldsmith (Co-Producer) is happy to be starting her eleventh season as a member of the production staff, and she would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every student, parent and moderator that she has had the pleasure of working with for making this experience so memorable and fulfilling. As always, she would like to thank her wonderful production staff teammates for making this her favorite place to work, the cast and crew for being awesome, the house crew for being the best in town, and Dan and Matty for being her two favorite reasons to leave the theatre.

“Break a leg” Cristina & Cast! From Tio Diego
Good Luck to the cast and crew of A Christmas Carol!
Break - a - leg: (Expression: Theat., Origen: var., occ. superstit.)
Well Done, Harrison! We Love you Mom, Dad, KAte & PAtrick
1. (superstit.) To outsmart theatre sprites, who thwart wishes made backstage. 2. (Theat. tech.) Leg(s) (n.) the side curtains masking the stage wings. To “break a leg” is to breach the visual plane between onstage and off. 3. (Class. Greek) Audiences stomped rather than applauded. Success could be measured in fractures. 4. (Elizabeth.) Leg(s) (n.) structural supports to risers, upon which (it is hoped) the audience jumps up and down. 5. (Elizabeth.) To “break” (or “bend”) a leg. To bow. To take a curtain call. 6. The audience now knows what to do...
Stephanie, you are
