Shannon Dunn
This is Shannon’s 13th show at Ponderosa, and she’d like to thank the community and her family for all the support and joy. She’s reached her final form as an angry old woman years before anticipated, and she salutes the comedic characters of her acting career that led her here. As for her fellow cast and crew, there’s no one else in the entire universe she’d rather do this show with, and she loves you all! If living in Urinetown has taught Shannon anything at all, it’s that even when life’s really dark, it’s still a comedy.

Katie Vallet
This is Katie’s 6th and final show. She finds herself surprised at how quickly the end has come. Katie would like to thank everyone who made her fall in love with theatre. Unfortunately, naming them all would take up the 100 words she has been given. She wishes she had more time to talk about every fond memory of daffodils, karaoke, the chicken, lampposts, and everything in between, but she doesn't. So although she isn’t sure what the future will bring, she knows a small part of her will always be here. (In the booth, obviously). Thank you, for everything.
