The Production Team

	Antonio Santarossa - Director Mr. Santarossa has been involved in teaching drama and directing SOC for the past six years at Vancouver College, but has yet to realize his dream: busking. He is the father of three, with his youngest child being born in February. Overworked and sleepless, he still managed brilliantly to direct and block our production of Godspell without having his teaching suffer at all. His flair for comedy has made this production most entertaining. He wishes to thank his fabulous cast for an enjoyable three months and for their patience!
	Nancy Herb - Choreographer Ms. Herb is happy to be sharing her love of the stage with the students in Godspell. She has experience in stage, radio, TV, and film, but her passion is indeed "musical theatre." She would like to thank the company of Godspell for all their tremendous effort. "Rehearsing has been a delight!" She will miss you all. Ms. Herb is Vancouver College's Grade Two teacher. She is a busy mom as well, but in her time off can be found singing professionally around Vancouver.
	Tom Arntzen - Musical Director Mr. Arntzen is a veteran performer of stage and radio. He has performed in musical theatre in leading roles in Vancouver and has musically directed several productions at the Arts Club Theatre. Tom has several bands that perform locally. We are thankful for Mr. Arntzen's musical expertise and guidance in our production of Godspell.
