THANK YOU, WILMINGTON BACKGROUND ARTISTS!! 11/14

We have successfully completed Season One of SECRETS & LIES!!  And it is in no small part due to all of you!

On behalf of Genna and myself and the rest of the Costume Department, please accept our heartfelt thanks for a wonderful season!

From the early mornings, to the hot days when it was supposed to be cold, the cold days when it wasn't supposed to be THAT cold, from the endless waiting around to the hurry up, we thank you!

Packing your closet into a bag for strangers to go through isn't always fun, but we're glad that you decided to play along with us this season.  Thanks for reading the blog and doing your best to always bring us what we asked for.

No show can be done without the Background Players and you guys always rose to the occasion to help us give the show a comprehensive, complete look.  We recognize that you're not always appreciated and thanked daily as you should be, so I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that your efforts have not gone unnoticed and the contributions of each and every one of you has helped to make this show successful.

And how about that Ashli Bogart......
I'm sure that you all know what a wonderful Extras Casting Director she is, but if you haven't recognized that yet, I'm here to tell you it's true!!

Thank you, Ashli, from all of us in the Costume Department for your tireless efforts to get us the right folks, find replacements at the last minute, and all of the other countless things you did to keep things running.  It has been my pleasure to work with you on this show and I hope to be able to do it again in the future.

The words THANK YOU don't quite seem to cover how grateful we are to all of you who had a part in making this show what it is.....but, alas, that's all I have.  Know, however, that these words are heartfelt.

Here's to doing it all again in the future.  May you all have wonderful holidays and much success thereafter.  Until next time......
