This is my debut of Producer an Director. I want to thank Ed, Bob and Melissa for their support at every turn. Without you, this would not have been possible. My most sincere thanks to the cast for their patience and talent as well as their commitment to the important message of this show. For me, shows like The Laramie project are what theater is about. An important story, well told and well-acted, information and thought provoking yet entertaining. Prior to this I acted, because of this, I believe that I have found my theatrical niche in production with its myriad details, it is hard work but it is rewarding, In closing I can only echo the sentiment of Harry Woods and say “Thank you, Matthew.”

Melissa plays an active and important role with Infinity Theatrical Productions in Essex Maryland where she has volunteered for the last 5 years as a production assistant to name just a few of her jobs. Melissa has performed in Jesus Christ Superstar, Little Shop of Horrors and most recently Oliver with ITP.
