The Emperor's New Clothes
Spring 2004

Welcome, welcome to our production of "The Emperor's New Clothes", not to be confused with Disney's production "The Emperor's New Groove." A little inside humor! Wow! This has definitely been an amazing, learning, and thought provoking experience for myself as well as for the children. It's been a sheer pleasure working with them and I truly want you to know that your children are extremely gifted! Please continue to support, encourage and allow them to experience the arts as it will strengthen and develop their self-esteem and character. They are a rambunctious group filled with life beyond our understanding especially now a days. Let's embrace that. A special Thank You to this talented cast! Whether you know it or not, I am a better person overall because of your dynamic impact upon my life. Thank you for keeping me humble. I will miss every one of you. For this is not the end, but the beginning of something extraordinary and beautiful. I want you all to know that your possibilities are limitless-let no one tell you otherwise!
Last but not least, to the Starting Arts Staff- Ann Watts, Mike Boston, Ana-Catrina Buchser and Dottie Lester-White. A HUGE heart felt hug!
From one educator to another, Thank you fo trusting me with such a large project and allowing me to exercise another muscle of mine. It's driving forces like yourselves who keep this world going. Your passion for teaching and working with kids runs deep in your veins and anyone who crosses your path should be considered a lucky person.
Okay, enough with the tear-jerking mojo... Laughter feeds the soul! Enjoy the Show!
