— from Kristen Wilson —

WOW! This is exactly the kind of night that makes me so happy and proud to be an Orcas Islander. What an amazing job EVERYONE did.

As an audience member only, I just have to say how IMPRESSED I am with the amount of effort and creativity that everyone put into their roles for this evening.
