SOLD OUT never sounded so good

 Seussical has come to a close and we couldn't walk away prouder. Each of you were an integral part of this show and we are so thankful for every single who jungle animal, and Seussians who created this experience. 
   
    Parents and volunteers- we could have never pulled this off without your support. Doing this in a tent in the spring brought many new challenges and we leaned on you more than ever. It truly elevated the entire production. From the lobby, to the program, to disciplining children, to picking up cast members, to bringing us food and coffee, to building with us and striking with us, loading that truck, documentation with pictures, and everything in between around and over. We are so thankful that we have found people who believe in this mission we have taken on together.  

    To the cast , oh the places you'll go, what an incredible group of performers and personalities. We had trying times and the show's identity took a while to mature but in the end you put on a masterful show. Look at what you accomplished! We are a bunch of misfits from the furthest walks of life, diverse in color, creed, and money yet we accomplished what none would believe. We truly learned and then taught 900+ souls that we are people first, nothing less and nothing could be more, Each of us has a tail "just right for our kind of bird". We sold at/over capacity 4 out of 6 of our shows! We an incredibly responsive audience and many even  came twice! We varied in talent and experience, from professionals to our first timers, yet our common denominator had to be effort and commitment. We love each of you. And want you to know how many lives you affected. People were in tears, this little fun show had a deeper impact than we could conceive and the principles you taught a were core to heart of every Grandfather, Mother, Son and Daughter. 
   
    To those who have been in previous SFA shows look at what you are building! Continue working and believing like you do and soon the audiences won't fit in any arena
