This show is yet another proud addition to the litany of Pioneer Theatre Guild (PTG) productions.

As my family’s out-of-town guest commented, “The depth of talent at this school is truly amazing.” There isn’t just one or two good performers, which would be the usual case for high school theatre, but there are twenty and counting outstanding performers!

All of us involved in this production, from the talented crew and cast to the hardworking production staff and parents are exhausted from all that leads up to opening night, yet energized for the remaining 4 performances. As I showed our guest the stage afterwards, one of the lead techies was jubilantly jumping up and down feeling the success of opening night, then she froze and said, “We have to reset the stage – we have a show to do tomorrow!”

I strongly encourage the Ann Arbor and neighboring communities to experience “Miss Saigon,” PTG-style!

Congratulations to all involved!
