full of hope.

Victoria (Tori) says, "See you next week, Everybody."

Acts 1:  “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Ephesians 1:  May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among the holy ones, and what is the surpassing greatness of his power for us who believe,in accord with the exercise of his great might, . . .
Matthew 28:  . . . “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”

Kindness is not recompense for favors received, it is unearned warmth given for absolutely no reason at all.  Joseph Joubert says of it, “A part of kindness consists in loving people more than they deserve.”

To the Cast and Crew of Noises Off,
I just wanted to take a moment and congratulate you all on a wonderful
production. We were able to attend the opening night performance and can not
tell you how much we loved the entire show. The comedy came in many forms
and was constant throughout all three acts. I honestly can not even imagine
how exhausted you all must be after each performance! In the three years
that Teatro delle Muse has been the resident company of the ArtCentre
Theatre I can't remember a production that generated so many belly laughs
from the audience. I sat in the back row (as is a habit of mine, I enjoy
watching the audience, reviewers and tech crew as much as I do the show) and
never saw a moment of restlessness, nor watch checks or snoring from
audience members. That is amazing! Be very proud of the work you have done.
I am proud to know this show is a part of our theatre. Jamey, I can't wait
to see your next production with TDM, wait productions. there's Grease,
Rocky Horror Picture Show, A Christmas Show and of course Evening Star
Rising. We are so glad to have you as a part of our company and we hope that
you bring all the talent from Noises Off with you to other shows!
