Dear Drama Boosters and Parents,

I would like to thank you for the very generous gifts that I received last night at the Awards Ceremony. The Booster organization has been very generous to the department this year, thus you personal gift was a very pleasant but unexpected surprise.

I cannot express how fortunate I feel to have such a group of people backing our endeavors at Theatre Centreville. Your willingness to volunteer and take on projects has been over whelming! You have made our jobs easier and you have also extended smiles and praise…two things that are more welcome than any other acknowledgement.

The one thing that you have shared, that truly means the most, is your children. They are the soul of this program. You just had to look around last night to see the pride and the love. We have been very fortunate at Centreville and that fortune continues.

Thank you, for a memorable year, and I thank you for your confidence. It is humbling.

Sincerely,

Mike Hudson

Hello Boosters,

It is with a heavy heart that I write my final letter of thanks to all of you. Over the years I have come to admire and respect your tremendous efforts on the behalf of the students and Theatre Centreville. When I first arrived at Centreville back in 1999 the Drama Boosters were only a few dedicated parents. There were no programs for the plays, no website for the parents, no scholarships for the students and no Booster show in the middle of the year. I am simply amazed when I think back to those early days. The program went from A to Z because of the support by all of you.

All of you have given so much of your time and energy to make Theatre Centreville a first class producer of high school plays. It is because of support like this that I was able to garner over 50 Cappie nominations and 10 wins(including Best Musical and Best Play) during my time at Centreville High School. I know you will continue in this proud tradition that we started so long ago together. Centreville was one of the first high schools in the country to participate in the Cappies and I know that the Cappies have come to expect nothing but the very best from Centreville High School.

We have accomplished so much together in the last decade and I couldn’t have done it without your hard work behind the scenes. All of you have taught me so much about community, teamwork, communication and professionalism. I will never forget you and I can only hope that everyone will continue their efforts for Theatre Centreville and Mr. Hudson in the future. I wish you nothing but standing ovations in all of your efforts.

Most sincerely,

Mark Rogers
