To the cast and crew, thank you for your hard work, dedication, and for taking a chance on a small town boy with a dream! To Corrine and Michelle thank you! If it weren’t for you I’d be a blubbering mess, your keen eyes and wisdom made me a better director, nay, a better person. To my mom and dad, thank you for your continued support, and your undying love. Thank you.

This will be the third Lynn Nottage set that Gary has designed built. And, this the first time he is working with Jacob Boggs in his directorial debut at the Heights Players. Always love working a bar scene. One with a half round bar was an interesting challenge. Many thanks to his assistants - master carpenter Mike Janove, the painting team of Amanda Enriquez, Felisha Heng & Jacob Boggs, and to Jan, his property (and otherwise) mistress.

s happy to be a part of Jacob Boggs’ creative team for Sweat, his debut mainstage production. Jan has been a part of The Heights Players since 1976, working on pretty much everything, including back-seat directing. She became interested in props on Brigadoon in 1991, and it took a long time before searching for cereal boxes, table lighters and Christmas ornaments became enjoyable. Thanks to husband Gary for his organization of our prop inventory, something much appreciated and long overdue. (“It looks like a store!”)
