PRESIDENT'S WELCOMEBe More Chill marks Waterdale's first major production since 2019. After the last few turbulentyears and a few false starts we are immensely proud to be able to perform this show. Theproduction team have outdone themselves with their creativeness and dedication to the cast.Their love for the show is evident in the small details - the custom badges on costumes, nuancesin choreography and matching of vocals.It's rewarding to see great friendships begin, strengthen and blossom. The cast, past andpresent, have been a pleasure to work with and we look forward to the next time they callWaterdale home. We're excited to be able to provide a platform for first time and seasonedWaterdale performers to come to the stage, build and show-off their skills and have greatexperiences.Thankyou to all our volunteers and the Waterdale committee. The amount of work that goesbehind the scenes to make this possible is incredible. You are all superstars. For anyoneinterested in helping out - please get in touch, we are a warm, welcoming bunch and would lovesome extra woman and man power to put on bigger and more shows!Thank you and enjoy Be More Chill!Fiona BoylePresidentWaterdale Theatre Inc.DIRECTOR'S WELCOMEThe production you are about to watch is one showcasing the utmost resilience and dedicationof so many creative, wonderful individuals. Ever since early 2020, when Waterdale firstannounced the plans to produce Be More Chill, to it finally seeing the stage in April 2022, thisproduction, like many others, has encountered numerous hurdles. Through the many obstaclesthat Covid has given the arts over the last few years, it has ultimately brought us to here andnow; with our final cast, prod team and venue.We consider this third time lucky for Be More Chill as production halted just prior to our first setof auditions in 2020, then postponed again in 2021 after 8 weeks of in person and zoomrehearsals, to finally kicking things off again and remaining strong in 2022.Every character is so unique, yet so relatable. We manage to find a little bit of ourselves in all ofthese characters and experiences as we watch them evolve. The message of this show hascertainly evolved to all of us here at Waterdale as we must all learn to understand what it meansto ‘be more chill’. For myself, I consider this message one not of individuality, but of community.As any production requires a massive effort by so many people, we come together to createsomething purely for a shared love of it. To ‘be more chill’ means to trust in yourself, find yourcommunity and truly see and appreciate those around you for their best selves.We have all grown and learned so much in this time and are so proud to bring you this show.Rhi EdwardsDirector
