Special Thanks

The playwright would like to thank the following for their feedback, help, and moral support:

    “To my wife: everything you say and do means the world to me, especially when it comes to the art that I create. Thanks for just being honest with me and telling me that everything up to draft 7 of the outline was just too complicated. I hope draft 10 is compelling and makes you proud that I’m your husband. I’m always proud of the amazing and supportive wife and mother that you are.

    To my family, friends, and colleagues who contributed (notably my sisters and sisters-in-law, especially Maria, and Jakie Heinerikson): thanks for hearing me out as I paced and ranted around the room during Sunday Night Dinners, Christmas Break, and through the hallways of SJA. Your reactions, feedback, and contributions were invaluable.

    To my students: thanks for your enthusiasm, questions, feedback, and ideas. I bounced ideas off of students in my shows and students in my classes and much of the groundwork was laid because of this feedback. You guys are awesome.

    To my director (Alexa) and proofreaders (Jim Moore, Travis Newkirk, Alli Jordan): it’s not perfect, but it would’ve been an absolute trainwreck without your help. You helped me focus and craft what really worked and what really needed to be worked on. I cannot thank you enough.

    If you helped me and I’ve forgotten to mention you, I apologize. I’ve been working on this play since May 2017, but it feels like longer.”

    Special thanks to the following for their contributions of time, treasure, and/or talent: Ben Mora; the Thomas Family; the Kerschen Family; the Ley Family; the Somerhalder Family; the Stuppy Family; the Arth Family; the Flucke Family; the Znidarsic Family.
