has been onstage all her life. When she wasn't onstage in various roles throughout high school and college, like the Chaperone in "Drowsy Chaperone", she was under the stage, playing in the pit orchestra for titles like "Big Fish", "The Hunchback or Notre Dame", "Guys and Dolls", and "Mamma Mia". When not under the stage or on it, she is backstage ordering people around as Stage Manager, barking counts as a choreographer, or sometimes programming stage lights! She is currently the director of the Choral and Theatre Department at Cherokee High School- wearing all the hats and breaking all the legs!. She has a Bachelor’s in Music Ed, a Master's in Choral Conducting, and is working on a Doctorate in Music Ed. She dedicates this and all performances to her merciful God, her supportive and caring husband (and assistant director), Aaron Woods, and three sweet, but mischievous sons, Shawn, Emmett, and Abel. Thank you, family, for your patience on the long nights to let me do what I love! Soli Deo Gloria!

is a life-long music admirer. From a childhood of appreciating the musical talents of others to an adulthood of making a musician of himself, music has been crucial in his personal development. While athletics were life's main focus through college, his love for music continually grew stronger. He thanks his parents, Donnie and Regina, for pushing him to sing in church and act in church plays as a child. He also thanks he wife, Erika, for being an inspiration in his music and life, for being an exceptional wife and mother, and for giving her best while serving this community. Aaron is currently a Special Education Teacher at Rogersville Middle School and hopes that all that he does, whether preaching, teaching, coaching, singing, or playing, will glorify his Savior, Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 10:31). In light of this story's theme, Aaron dedicates this performance to his father, Donnie, and his sons, Shawn, Emmett, and Abel. Enjoy the show!

This performance is dedicated to everyone who has ever encouraged her love for music and the light it brings to her life.
