| - | '''Director's Notes'''

| - | | + | |
| - | In spite of the fact that and water, or snow in this case, do not mix, we have have overcome four snowstorms to present our second Broadway musical to the Middle Creek community. we will never forget the winter of 'O4. Actually, it has taken nearly eighteen-months to put Grease on this stage. Last fall, in the beginning of MCHS's first year of operation, we chose Grease as our first large-scale musical production, One hundred students, over 14% of our student body, audition for the show. One day before announcing the cast, we were informed that due to a professional production of Grease in the area, we would not receive the license to produce the show.

| - | [[Bye Bye Birdie]] became our inaugural production. It was a fantastic production. Many students and parents discovered the thrill of the theatre for the first time or rekindled the old flame. Patrons, friends, and family could not believe that most of the students on stage were freshman. Many folks told the directors "Wait until these kids are older, they'll be unbelievable." Well, they are a little bit older and they ARE "unbelievable."

| - | What terrific talent we have at "the Creek." We have pushed this cast and production staff hard to get ready for Grease. We anticipated maybe one weather-related interruption, or two at most. Rut in spite of the weather, these cast members and crewmembers, costumers, and set builders have been relentless in their resolve to produce a high caliber production.

| - | | + | |
| - | In addition to recognizing and complimenting the on-stage talent and effort, we the directors, would like to express our appreciation to the behind-the-scenes students, teachers, parents, wives, and husbands who have made this production possible. We speak of the dozen costumers, the set-builders and painters, the prop gatherers, the technical team, the MCHS Graphics Department, musicians, the ticket sellers, the poster and billboard designer, photographers, snack donators, and the teachers and administration. All of these people have supported and created this production. The directors would like to dedicate our second production to the real strength of Grease, to the behind-the-scenes production staff. A great big THANKYOU is in order.

| - | '''First day of construction'''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | I remember the first day of construction when I looked at the pile of brightly colored scaffolding that the Sun Belt rental people had dropped off. It looked like a huge pile of teenage sized Legos and despite my previous theatrical experience, it was very hard for me to image that this was going to be the set of ''Bye Bye Birdie''. But, we just started putting the pieces together and slowly the platforms took shape....... [[User:Alanbee|Al]]
