About the Show

I would like to first and foremost thank you for attending tonight’s performance. This production has been a goal of mine for almost two years. I hope you will enjoy this show as much as I do.

This is my first production serving as the director, however, I have been filling roles in and around the theatre for almost nine years. This production has been a tremendous pleasure due to the hard work, dedication, energy, and determination of the cast, crew, orchestra, and staff. What you are about to see has very little to do with me and is very much so a culmination of efforts put forth by the people I just mentioned.

Blood Brothers is a show surrounding family & superstitions and has a more serious tone than most musical productions performed by the Penn State Thespians. I am extremely delighted that the club took on a less known production, and even more delighted that you have come to this production.

Thank you again for attending tonight’s production. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

Sincerely,
Benjamin C. Hammel
Director
