Director’s Note
I would like to take this time to express my
deepest gratitude to The Marshall Civic
Player’s Board of Directors’. Your support, belief and commitment to me and this
project has been nothing less than amazing.
Thank you for the opportunity to direct such
a wonderful cast, and to work in such a fine
institution. I would also like to personally
thank Kim, Tom, Fred, Dusty, Sarah, Jason,
and James for their professional work ethic.
To the enormously talented and gifted cast
and crew for their mutual respect and trustI admire you. To Mr. Phil Hagerty for his
wonderful adaptation. Last but certainly not
least, to Mr. Charles Dickens, for the timeless masterpiece that has touched so many
hearts and souls through the ages.
Randy Wolfe
Director
