“I would like to personally thank our principal Mrs. Kandi Darnell for all of the performance opportunities she allowed us this fall. It truly paid off. Second, a HUGE thank you to my assistant director Mr. James Pedroza for his energy! He helped bring us to life! Finally, to my amazing husband, Jeff Miller, who has put up with my insanity for the last few weeks. Without Charlie’s, et al, I am pretty sure he would have starved!”
