Designer Drama (8 page)

Many thanks to our families—the Kahns, the Berks, and the Saps—for their continued love and support!

To the gang at Vital Theatre (especially Steve, Sam, Annjolynn, Shani, Kyle, Julz, Holly, and Jamie) and all the brilliant actors (Kayla, Rachel, Alexis, Luke, Brie) who brought Mickey and company to life for the very first time! Love you guys and so appreciate all your hard work and dedication to the show. Sabrina: you were a blast to work with and a generous collaborator. We had tons of laughs, tears, and way too much coffee in the green room. Thank you for loving Fashion Academy and pouring your heart, soul, and music into it. Next stop, Fashion Academy: The Tour!!!! ;-) Jill Jaysen: you threw the biggest, best opening night bash EVER (Tinkerbelle!!!!). Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and above-and-beyond efforts. xo

To our Sourcebooks team: Steve, Kate, Elizabeth—we couldn't do it without you.

To Katherine Latshaw at Folio: we love that you always come to opening night and are our biggest cheerleader!

To Ms. Sayers: thanks for teaching Carrie to sew on a machine for the very first time! She will always treasure her tote bag and apron she made in your mini-term class and has a newfound appreciation for perfectly straight stitches!

Don't miss Mickey's next fabulous fashion adventure!
