Program Notes
Producer's Note from the program
Every year the Producer writes a note relating to the magic of Quince. But the real magic comes not on the stage, but behind it. The weeks of rehearsal and the months of preparation. But the most overlooked part of Quince is the business side of the company. The people who go out and sell ads and convince the community to donate their money to us. Without those people of you in the audience there would be no Quince. So I want to take a moment to thank you all. And I hope that Quince will show you tonight that your money was well spent. The magic of Quince Continues to touch the lives and hearts of Manitowoc youth and I hope that comes through tonight.

Director's Note from the program
One of the problems I've run into theatre (and live in general) is people's insistence of living in a dichotomy of right and wrong. Far too many actors (and directors) assume there is only one right way to play a part. This is untrue. This is easy to understand considering how much we are pushed in that direction since birth: "chew with your mouth closed", "Don't leave class until the bell rights", "Speed Limit 25", etc. etc. etc. This attitude has little place in theater, or in the arts in general. Was ee cumming's punctuation wrong? Did Picasso paint wrong? It is true that there are more and less interesting and effective ways of getting a message across, but an actor/artist must explore every possibility without limiting themselves to what is "right".
This also (conveniently) is one of the main overlying themes in our show. The idea of right ways for royalty/court members/etc. to behave are constantly stretches and mocked, much to the dismay of those like the queen.
Speaking of stretching and mocking, I would like to thank my cast and crew for their hard work and dedication. Extra special thank to the board of directors and directing staff for their extra time and work in the off-season. Thank also to Steve Gibson, Bill Hansen, James Woodland, Tom Nevins, and others for teaching me questions, not answers.
