He would like to thank his friends and family, especially his brother, Mike. Thank you all so much for putting up with me. I know how I can get sometimes. . . Smile! ItÕs contagious.

Robyn M. Bechtel-(Hair & Makeup Designer) This is RobynÕs first production with the Guild and she is very happy to be working with these wonderful people. She would like to give special thanks to Jana and Mattie for giving her the opportunity to become an official ÒGuildeeÓ.

Gareth Booker-(Asst. Technical Director) This is GarethÕs third show with the Guild. Some questioned his sanity, but perhaps more frightening to you all is that no one questioned his ability. He took this position mainly out of a desire to work with Mattie, and partly because he felt guilty stealing all the staging for his own show. HeÕd like to thank everyone in the Guild for welcoming him and making him feel like he has a home away from home here.

Mattie D. Cavanaugh- (Production Manager) Mattie is excited to be producing his second (and last) show for the Guild. He has been with the Guild for 2 years and this is his sixth show. He would like to thank his family, the cast, the A-Team, the E-Board, Kelly, Ari, Scott.com, Gareth, Bry-Bry, Danny, Libby, Jenn, Dom, David, Barthol, and Mr. Bigglesworth.
