Janice Issa Wright (Music Director) I would like to thank the astounding, multi-talented, eager and inspirational cast of Once. Each one has brought an unwavering and heartful passion to their character and instruments. Rehearsals were never lacking in ideas or enthusiasm; especially when asked to read music and play instruments they had never touched before.  Many MANY hours were spent practicing and it shows in their musicianship. Constantly wanting to do better, they have allowed me to ridiculously fine tune them without hesitation.

A special thanks to the pre-show gang and their arranger Wesley Hix. On top of all their responsibilities, they took time outside the rehearsal process on their own to bring you this special treat. And lastly, a nod to our "spirit instrument" the red Accordion.  My dad gave it to me from a junkyard over 50+ years ago.  It had never really seen the light of day until now. I am profoundly grateful to CS for believing I was the one that could make this all come together.
