We wish to acknowledge with deep appreciation the special help we receive from the LAKE STREET MILL, 51 Lake Street, Nashua. Mr. Rocky LaPierre, President, has graciously and most generously donated space to THE ACTORSINGERS for the storage of our properties.
Heartfelt thanks to our “behind the scenes” people who helped make this production possible. Though they won’t get a curtain call, their efforts and dedication should be loudly applauded.
A special “thank you” to Elaine Duhamel and John Liljeberg whose knowledge, patience and guidance helped us to survive the past several weeks.
