Director's Note
Thank you for coming out today to support the amazing community of people that
gathered together in the middle of their summer and decided to be a part of today’s
musical. The cast/crew/production team’s whose efforts you are about to enjoy have
worked tirelessly the last few months to make this show dynamic, colorful, harmonic,
full of spectacle, and fun. We rehearsed 3 days a week, and worked in between
rehearsals to memorize lines and lyrics, create and then teach dances that are
challenging yet achievable and fun, design the set and then effectively use it and so
much more. Theatre, especially community theatre, is a labor of love. We do this
because we love it, we love storytelling, singing, dancing, and creating. Whether that
creation is a character, a set, a costume or a lighting design, we love displaying our
heart’s work, and even more, we love you for supporting our endeavors. Some of you
are here because a family member or friend is in or worked on the show; some of you
are here because you or your kids love Disney’s Descendants; some of you are here
because you appreciate the fun shows ECT has put on in the past. No matter your
reason for being here, please know that we are grateful. There is no show without an
audience and a good and lively audience makes a huge difference to the cast/crew.
So if you are having fun and appreciate the talent on display, put those hands together
and let them hear it, you have no idea how much it will mean to them!
-Katie Gifford
Music Director's Note
It has been a privilege music directing Descendants. Since the first rehearsal, the cast
has demonstrated natural talent and passion for singing. The diverse ages and
backgrounds of all cast members bring together a chemistry that delivers a quality and
exciting performance. Enjoy the show!
