Thank you! I should start out with that. There are so many people to thank for this positive experience I couldn't tell you where I should begin. I need to thank the fans first and foremost for being there that had a chance to experience ELVIS AUGUST. It was more for you than for anyone. I want to thank our new fans into the Jack family. People who came and experienced what we do for the first time and now will be back because the quality of shows we put on is like no other. I so appreciate the open mindness of those people who took a chance got blown away and will now continue to be our patrons for our upcoming events.
I want to thank my dancers: "FOLTYN'S ANGELS" Tish Morris Kelley, Jessica Cantu, Rheagan Presley Carroll, Erin Nimms, Chelsea for achieving a level of professionalism that they will keep as a standard for themselves for years to come. I learned that there are people out there who are talented but most of all good people. The ones that come to rehearsal and enjoy the process, the challenges, the changes and themselves.
These shows for them have been of life lessons and achieving something of the highest standard and I thank them so much for being there and being accountable. Talent is not what gets you places but commitment and energy does
I want to thank my musicians my band members. The people who subbed in at the last minute. Tim and Jacob and Max who just made me feel I had no worries and what else you can say other than I owe them alot. For Dave and Nick and Trailerpark and Pat....we are going to rock California. Thank you for being there and always staying on point with everything. Thank you for making life easier for me
I want to thank all the people at Theatre 166 who made me feel at home and took a chance on me to go their with a show that...well...wasnt a regular Elvis show. That to me spoke volumes!! All the feedback I got was that it was a great venue and friendly faces and that is another reason they will keep coming back and me of course....It doesnt hurt that there is a liquor store right next door LOL. Thank you David and his wife Kylie. Thank you Dan, Thank you Steve, Thank you Pastor Dave for giving us a venue to express what we believe is quality family entertainment. We will see each other again as friends and business associates.
I would also like to thank Ron and Diane Leeper who made sure seats were they were supposed to be. That merchandise always looked pretty and concessions were always fresh. Never had we had one complaint on this run or one problem due to lack of preperation. It is a tough job to keep that all in order and I so much appreciate that. You are the first people they see and impression is everything. Its a thankless job and you do it so well and you do it humbly and graciously. I can't thank you enough
I would also like to thank the clean up crew and really its only one lady who does this. Now let me tell you why this is so important. I was at another theatre before this one and without saying any names it is truly a blessing when you can come in to your place of work and see everything clean! The chairs in order, nothing on the floor, bathrooms always smell nice. You have no clue how good that it is especially when you have seen the worse side of that spectrum. So next time you come see a show or go to service there take a look around and there is a reason why Theatre 166 is so clean and vibrant! Personal Pride! Thank you so much
Of course I am probably missing more people but in general when you do a show there is a sense of sadness after a show is done. With this one I have to say I am very excited about our Christmas show. Why? Because of the people I mentioned and of course all of you because you are excited about it. This has not been an ending but a new beginning of great things to come! We have seven shows in December and we want you to come to all of them! Why not!
We will have all of this posted on our website in the next few days plus ticket prices. So make sure to start making your plans for our Christmas In Graceland. What better way to start the holiday season with us!!
And remember when somebody asks you "If there is anything I can do to help?" All you gotta say is, What??!! "I GOT THIS"
