Jennifer M. Brodtke
August 13, 1973 - January 28, 1993
Jen has been an inspiration to the company through her hard work, persistance,
and dedication. Though only a member of the company for a short time, she
threw herself into the dream of Quince with all her heart and soul. This poem
reflects her feelings after the 1992 production of 'Leader of the Pack.'
To Dream
A Dream is never really over
Or finished;
A Dream can never really be killed
Or die.
A Dream is something that lives on forever;
A Dream continues
As long as someone believes you.
Love is a Dream,
A friend is a Dream,
Peace is a Dream,
Peter Quince is a Dream.
As long as someone believes,
None of these will die.
As long as someone cares,
Each will still live on.
To everyone who believes
I give you utmost credit;
For all those who dare to Dream,
There is Quince.

[The 1997 production of Bye Bye Birdie] was dedicated to the memory of

member of the company from 1969-1974, but he was also a lifelong supporter. At
a great loss to his family, friends, and fellow Quincers, he passed away on
