“VANYA and SONIA and MASHA and SPIKE”
What an extraordinary journey this production has been. As we head into our last three performances, I want to personally invite you to join us for one more laugh, one more gasp, one more night of pure theatrical joy before we close.
This experience has been a blessing from beginning to end, and I want to extend deep gratitude:
To Sandi McDonald, whose vision and commitment made this play happen. Thank you for producing a show that brought so many of us together.
To our audiences. Every single person who has already come out to support us. Your energy, your laughter, your warmth… you lifted us every night. Thank you.
To my remarkable cast mates:
JACK HARDING as Vanya - steady, truthful, brilliant.
STEPHANIE WRIGHT-WATTS as Masha - a powerhouse through and through.
KEVIN HOFFMAN as Spike - fearless, funny and sexy.
Anna Martinez as Cassandra - a storm of talent and magic and a joy to work with.
ROSALVA ALTAMIRANO as Nina - luminous, generous, and inspiring.
Playing SONIA alongside this team has been one of the highlights of my year.
To our crew and supporters:
A very special thank you to our backstage angels, Jessica and Terry - the energetic, loving, and fiercely conscientious crew who kept this production running like a heartbeat. They were everywhere at once: calming nerves, solving problems before anyone knew they existed, and holding the entire backstage world together with grace, humor, and total dedication. Their spirit lifted all of us.
Bob Barsanti, for gifting me the stunning dress I wear onstage and Tony Degasio, who stayed with us all the way through.
Our lighting and sound technicians who brought each moment to life.
The volunteers who built, painted, moved, restored, and helped transform the space.
The American School for opening its doors and giving us a home.
The students who created our set artwork and props - your creativity made the stage shine.
The photographers and videographers who captured our work so we can remember it and share it.
And above all, I thank God for life, breath, creativity, and the gift of community, without which none of this would exist.
It has been a wonderful experience, one I am grateful to have shared with this cast, this crew, and with all of you.
Now… we have three shows left. Just three.
If you haven’t seen it yet, come.
If you want to see it again, this is the moment.
Let’s finish this run together.
See you at the theater.
