Paula Biancalana (Mrs. B) generously donates her time and energy as Costume Coordinator on every production at Casa Grande High School. Here she is advising and directing students from THE TROJAN WOMEN in the crafting of their own chorus costumes for the production (finished costumes in picture to left). The Drama Department continues to be in debt to Mrs. B for her talent and generosity.
Left, Russ Wigglesworth, of Sonoma State University, otherwise known as "God of all Tech," generously helps rig lighting positions in the NMU. There is not a single element of tech with which Mr. Wigglesworth has not helped us. To name a few, he has installed new lighting grid bars to improve lighting positions, he has helped acquire new and more efficient lighting and installed it. He researched and helped acquire our new light and sound boards. He has helped create and install special effects for productions and brought students from Sonoma State to design and help tech the lights. Without his help, our productions would not look as great, sound as great, or run as smoothly as they do.
Douglas Gerard -- Began working with Mr. Rustan at Napa Valley College in 2002. Together they teamed up on 15 productions between 2002 and 2013. Casa Grande Drama owes Mr. Gerard a huge debt of gratitude for helping establish the quality of our productions.
