The Visit was my final show here at UF as an undergrad student. The entire production process was filled with laughter (so many inside jokes) amongst the insanity that is this show. I love you all so much, thank you for being an amazing cast/crew to end my time here. (bark-BORERS)

All over the world, every man woman and child has pretty much only been thinking about one thing: is Patrick getting enough attention???

Thank you to the cast/crew of The Visit for an exhilarating and fulfilling return to the stage.

oh my güllen. after two months of the visit taking over my life, it doesn’t feel real that it’s over.

this show gave me everything i could’ve wanted for my first time being a deck stage manager and more. from our ever-growing quote book to getting to help run fight and lift call (arguably my favorite part of the night) to clapping and cheering from the wings during bows, all these little moments made me feel like i was the luckiest girl alive. i am so so proud of this thing we created.

to the cast - thank you for your graciousness. in both my successes and mistakes, i never felt anything less than supported and valued which is so incredibly rare. i’d come around the corner (probably at a breakneck speed so i apologize again to everyone i ran into) and i’d see someone who made my face light up. or i’d hear my name and whip around and be greeted by “genuine sincerity” and goodness, i love you all.

to the design team and crew - WOW. i got to traverse the most perfect set, lay eyes on gorgeous costumes and makeup, laugh as we decided on our favorite light cues, and unironically fall in love with the transition music. thank you to everyone who made that happen.

and to my heather, ella and lauren. you made this space feel like a place i belonged. i have never worked with such absolutely hilarious people who are also so willing to help, to listen, to just be there. i can’t completely put into words just how grateful i am to have worked with such an incredible SM team, but thank you for everything and just remember, it’s being painted.

i wore a lot of hats on this show (trust they will be going on my resumé) so this is your SL deck stage manager, prop weapons supervisor, sorta fight/lift/intimacy coordinator and huge fan of bark borers signing off.

güllen-rome express, all aboard please.

“and they said you’re stage managing or something”

i cannot believe that rent closed today. suddenly it feels like all the tears i cried over paperwork and late nights and CURTAINS are so inconsequential, and well, im okay with that. because just look at this wonderful thing we made.

i have never been part of a more supportive, loving team that became quite the little family over the past two months. i felt astounded each day to be surrounded by all this talent and inspired by everyone’s sheer dedication.

it was genuinely an honor to be a part of helping our show come to life. thank you for letting me dance in the wings, obnoxiously sob over my favorite songs, and run like the wind to unlock a door, track down a guitar pick, open another curtain, literally anything and everything, i would do it all again in a heartbeat.

to the cast - your kindness is unmatched, i felt valued at every turn and lightened by your contagious enthusiasm.
to my deck crew - you all brought the life of the party i didn’t know we were missing! i know you might not miss the three hours hunched behind a curtain, but i am going to miss you dearly.
to the creative team - wow. just wow. walking this set, witnessing these costumes, finally understanding the immense value of a perfectly situated light cue, even anticipating the flatline of that ever-present heartbeat - it was all magical, to be honest.

and to the rest of the stage management team - oh my. i want my sleep back, yes, but i also want to keep seeing you every day! your positivity and determination, your support, each of your individual humors, makes me wish i had my headset on again just to laugh and cry along with you. thank you for trusting me and understanding me. i love you three more than words can say.

and so, this is your production assistant signing off.
viva la vie boheme :)

IB outta here!!! And just like that, there goes DP25. There was (a teeny bit) of blood, sweat and tears, but they got up from the rough times and celebrated the best times. IB proud of you! Now go out and change the world! 🌎🎓🎉👏🏼 ****important edit! No blood was caused by G-Star or IB. Only paper cuts, hangnails, soccer (😔@sebas.wv), rogue mystery things (😔@__ashleejade_), and an urrelated cut (😔@lowkey.tanoah) #gstarschoolofthearts #classof2025 #ibouttahere
