Mrs. Hartley - Thank you so much for everything you have done for me. You see something priceless in me and your dedication to nurturing my art and my character is an endless blessing. You are an inspiration and I hope you know just how much you have done to shape my life for the better. Lots of tissues have and will be used on the joyful tears I could shed thanks to you.
Ms. Field - You are an icon and a true friend. You are first and foremost my superior and my elder, but you are also such a good person to link my personhood to. You are kind, caring, hilarious, supportive, and giving. Thank you for all you have seen and done for me. You mean more than the world to me, friendo.
Kayleigh - Your affirmation is “I am the cosmos”, and, my dear, you most certainly are the cosmos. Words cannot describe how indebted I am to you as an artist, a friend, and a person. Forever your school trip roomie. This is truly an inadequate message, but you’re the wordsmith of the two of us.
Tututua - Dearest, you are more than words. Your talent and your love are inspirational and I am blessed by both. Never stop shining, my love.
Lily - Your natural energy, enthusiasm and dedication are so apparent and appreciated. Your talent is so vast and I wish you the best over the summer and in your whole life.
Avrie - The privilege to work alongside you has been a true blessing. You are such a gentle soul and I see goodness in you, along with true artistry. When I think of artistry, I think of you. Conquer the world.
Elise - You are so vibrant. Never stop being you and never stop growing. You are a blessing and a light in the world and your potential to go even beyond the awesome personhood you currently achieve could truly shake the earth. Go for it, girl.
Mom and Dad - Everything. I haven’t enough space to say it all. You listen to me, you take care of me, you laugh with me, you love me. After God, I owe it all to you. I love you forever and ever and always, no matter what.
Nana and Super-Grandad - There’s so much to thank you for, but I truly don’t have the room to pour it all out to you. Nana, thank you for letting me share Granny with this audience. Super-Grandad, thanks for everything - and I mean everything. It’s impossible for you to love me more, so don't even try to say it :)
Every Cast and Crew Member - This show literally wouldn’t be possible without you. Thank you for everything and more. Each of you is a shining star that I’ve had the pleasure to work with.
