From the team of 'The Di1fine1'.r't0 the laugbf of 'Tom j0ne.f',' The bam' work of all involved made there Jbowr To the companies of The Di- viners , Anything Goes , and Tom Jones , Every company has taught me something, given me something special that I can bring with me for the rest of my life. I'm writing this letter in hopes that it will give you as much as you all have given me. I liked The Diviners for many reasons, but what I loved about it was the cast and com- pany. For those of us who had been in shows prior to this, it was a chance to make magic at least one more time. For those who hadn't, it was an introduc- tion to some of the most talented people in the department. We worked hard on that show, and it was worth it. As hard as we worked in The Diviners , the company of Anything Goes worked even harder. The fun and exhilaration you all had on stage was con- tageous. Every one of you gave the distinct impression that if Hey,C.C.! Buddy tSteven Helmstettlerl t12l tragically drowns in the conclusion of The Diviners . Photo by Tammy Mihalek. I now pronounce you . . . The mar- riage of Tom iSteve Zellersl C121 and Sophia iDru Mouserl 1111 was presided by Justice Dowling fDuncan Brannonl l12l. Design by Ann Costello SHI E any audience member had reached out their hand to you, you would take it, and suddenly they would be able to sing and dance the way you did. It was amazing. When Tom Jones auditions began in December, I don't think even one person really knew just how far we could take it. Back then, I saw it as a dream. A dream I shared with 26 of the best actors and actresses of the department. Seperately, we never would have made it out of Zone, but through working to- gether with the ensemble, we all made it happen. You all don't have any idea at all how proud I am of all of you,and how honored I was to be a part of the first One-Act Play company from Richland to ever go to State competition. I'm graduating this year, as you know, I'm sure, What I had dreamed of for the past two years was to leave the depart- ment knowing that I had made my mark in the history of OAP at Richland. Two things have been added, now that l've al- ready done that. One thing that I see now is that, just as I have made my mark on the depart- ment, the department has made its mark on me. I wouldn't want it any other way. You all are so special to the department and, especially, to me. I know that both the department and I are the better for having known all of you. The second thing that I have to say is to the Juniors, Sophmores, and future students of Richland High School. Don't Get back here! Mr. Western iScott Nix the Highwayman KShae Greenl 1121 ont I Scott and Shae both won awards at com by Keuin Campbell ever forget that it would be just as easy, if not easier, for you to go to State without this year's seniors. Although some mem- bers of the ensemble are leav- ing, new members will be com- ing in. It's all a part of the growing process for you, the de- partment, and the graduating seniors. None of us will be the worse for it, I promise. There's one more thing that I want to tell all of you. Remem- ber, you are the starlight. Hold on to that, and don't ever let go. With all My Love and Respect, Ann E.R. Costello
