Michael :

I just wanted to extend my personal thanks for all you did for this year's Follies. Your professionalism and ever-present calm made it an honor to be a part of this year's production. The word of our success has spread throughout the community and that is due, in large part, to you. As I said yesterday, it was the best ever! I do hope that our relationship will continue for many years to come.

Cynthia Rosedale, Director of Events, Pasadena Senior Center

Thank You for the opportunity to participate in such a high quality event with such wonderful people. The pictures from Pasadena Now are wonderful and the fun memories of our wacky show and us “wacky” actors will last a lifetime. Special kudos to those who helped guide the ship (or should I say wagon) and kept us together with each fine detail, and to the brainchild/ren of the show. Look out Broadway, we came west, now we’re taking our show east to pick up our Tony….yeee haw!

What enormous fun, and great privilege to meet and work with all of you. I'm lucky to have so many very talented new friends, and look forward to . . . the upcoming cast-and-crew party . . . oh, what the heck, caution to the winds, I really look forward to next year!

From all of us at the Senior Center, I want to extend our thanks for all you did to make the 2006 Follies the best ever. Having been involved with the event for 5 years, I can honestly say that it was the best audience, the best script, the best lyrics and the best cast ever! I hope that you had as much fun performing and/or crewing as we did behind the scenes.

Cynthia Rosedale, Director of Events, Pasadena Senior Center
