Director Crockett Ward shares his thoughts on the production and working with young local talent. Well we've got a lot of community members involved in this production. We have a lot of kids from schools across the county. It's going to be a really fun time. We've got people who are really talented being a part of this cast. Like there's somebody who does ventriloquism. There's somebody who plays the saxophone and the guitar and you know we've just got such a such a wealth of talent here in this community that it's like we get to showcase it you know so like that's the exciting part is getting to showcase like the myriad of talents here.

The contents of the show have been slightly altered to be more family friendly. Ward mentions the students involved in the show add to the viewing experience. Having these types of students adds tremendously to the process because it's a it's a learning process for everybody right some this is some people's very first show and this is some people's hundredth you know but we've adjusted the content to where it is family appropriate and family friendly so that these younger students aren't exposed to things they probably shouldn't be at a young age now the the show itself is going to be not so much like the the movie if you've seen the movie it's going to be a little bit more friendly family friendly a lot more friendly family friendly and so we're really excited about sharing this with the community.
