The University of Portland, for their undying support, extreme generosity, and willingness to contribute to the success of their alumni.  It is impossible to list all of the ways the University contributed to this production, both in educating many of the people involved, and providing support through their facilities, financial assistance, and many other resources.  We would especially like to thank Dr. Michael Connolly, Bill Reed, Jim Kuffner, Jewell Yaguchi, Larry Larsen, Tracey Edson, Judith Montgomery, and Dr. Roger O. Doyle

Paul Moses and Hunter Petterson, who have gone above and beyond in every way imaginable in order to make this show happen.  This production absolutely would not have happened without them.

Clint Kaster and Smartech Audio for supplying wireless microphones at an extremely generous rate

David Stokamer and the Flavourspot for selling tickets for us in a great community partnership

Jacob Zahniser for his legal assistance

Tim Galloway and Yode Walker, for the use of their harpsichord

Lesley McGlocklin for going above and beyond in the costume department

Claire Craig-Sheets for her makeup and special effects expertise

Sarah Gosswiller, for donating her time, incredible creativity, and services pro bono.

The Rebuilding Center and their wonderful staff

Christa Wessel and All Classical FM

Opera Theater Oregon

Henry V, the coolest event planning company in existence.

Paul Langdon

David Stabler

Galen Huckins

Cameron Turner

Marta Ray

Erica Melton. Listing her as the rehearsal accompanist and clarinet player does nothing to capture the artistic contribution she made to this show.  She helped shape all the recitative and really bring it alive, as well as assisting us in shaping our vocal production.

Finally, a huge thank you to every single cast, crew, and orchestra member for going above and beyond, working long hours, working for less money than you deserve, and being absolutely incredible.
