Program Notes
Producer's Note from the program
Good evening,
Peter Quince is a group of young adults between the ages of 12 and 21 who start out with an idea and build it into a musical, piece by piece. Theatre has many different roles. It is put together by not only the actors, but by the many people behind the scenes. Peter Quince is always looking for young people interested in any aspect of the theatre from acting to theatre associated fields.
Peter Quince is a non-profit organization which survives by community involvement. It is people like you that make it possible for us to put on a production, such as this one. I would personally like to say thank you, one and all, for your support.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy theatre at its best.

Director's Note from the program
Dear friends,
Whenever a director attempts to write one of these letters, hundreds of thoughts fly through his or her head, each of them impossible to pin down on a sheet of paper. There are recollections of the difficult decisions, the excitement of rehearsals, the laughter and the tears.
But this year, as I stop to consider the life of Peter Quince, I feel a little different. As this year's show goes up, I must say farewell to Quince.
While I take my leave of the company and join the ranks of those who are too old for Quince, let me assure you that only a small fraction of what a Quincer learns is visible on the stage. We have learned to communicate and work with one another, to lead and at times to follow. We have learned to live successfully with one another.
I urge your continued support of this company and thank you for your help and understanding in years past. Without it, the company would cease to exist.
I also welcome you to our show. We have had a summer that will stay with us all our lives. So now, the final performances are for you.
Julie S. Gerndt
Co-General Director
Well, this certainly has been a summer to remember. Between the long hours, sweat, and hard work there have been many enjoyable "Moments of Madness", and as Rosie puts it, "Between the Moments of Madness and the office I've put in a good ninety hour week". But this is expected when you work with a company as valuable as Peter Quince.
Julie and I found that together, we could direct a show that will be as enjoyable and beneficial to you, the audience, as it was to the cast and crews, and ourselves.
