Program Notes
Producer's Note from the program
Good evening. It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to tonight's performance of "Damn Yankees". This has been an extra-special summer for the Peter Quince Performing Company. This season is our 25th and to celebrate, we have invited our alumni back to Manitowoc. We have over 1,000 alumni scattered all over the globe. This weekend they will come back from as far as California, the east coast, even Norway. Welcome back Quincers! We hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane.
All quincers, old a new, know how much time and effort go into the show. Everyone works hard and gives up free time to make the company a success. And every year there's a couple of people who go above and beyond the usual dedication. These Quincers will do tasks that aren't "their's" and only complain a little. These are the true leaders of PQPC and without them, there wouldn't be a 25th anniversary to celebrate.
"Damn Yankees" is lovingly dedicated to one of those "super-Quincers." Jennifer M. Brodtke came up to the company last year and did everything that needed doing. She cleaned everyone else's paint brushes, cleaned up our messy files (in more ways than one), spent every available minute with us, and was featured dancer in last year's production. Jen was loved by everyone and was selected producer for this season. But on January 28, 1993, Jennifer died in a tragic car accident. We dedicate this show and all our love and support to her memory and to her family. Thank You, Jennifer, for all you did. We love you.
Thank you also to everyone who helps Quince in any way. Thank you to all the local businesses, everyone at the mall and the Capitol, our sponsors and patrons, our parents, and most of all the company for working so hard.
To all the Quincers, old and new, thank you for making the dream a reality.
Sincerely,
Melissa Lynn Brunner and Ann Hagen, Co-Producers
Director's Note from the program
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of this year's company I would like to welcome each and every one of you to tonight's performance of "Damn Yankees".
Putting the show together this year, as always, has been an enjoyable challenge. Thanks to the cast, technical crew, and the pit for all of their time and hard work. We are Peter Quince and once again we've done it guys!
I'd also like to thank the following people for their patience and caring: my family, mom, dad, Jill, Bryce (I'm so proud of you - break a leg!), my staff, Andrea, Ann, Jill (Again), Hilde, James, my "special friend" Jennifer, plus, Becky, Jaycen, Choke, John, Matt, Bobby, Bill Craig, Jennifer, Justin, the Stinky Club, Kay, Karen, Mel, Kari, and Jenny.
Lastly, I'd like to recognize the hard work Jen Brodtke and how the dream we shared came to life. God bless you, you are forever in my heart.
Not sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!
