Director Sasser, some help was also provided by professional actors Oliver Bacus and Summer Baer from St. Louis.

"Oliver is a Roxana graduate and was happy to come back and coach these young actors," Sasser said. "Our backstage and technical crew were manned by high school students who are mentoring our younger students helping them learn the ropes.
