returning to the TCR Main
Stage after a two-year
hiatus. Dustin has previously

Sweeney Todd in City
Circle’s concert edition, and
just finished a run as
Harold Hill in The Music Man.
Dustin would like to thank the
staff, volunteers, and patrons
of TCR for their support of the
arts in Cedar Rapids, and
you for coming to see our
show!

production of Disney’s Beauty
and the Beast in which she
played Belle. When not on
stage, you can find her painting, writing music, and
teaching voice and piano
to young beginners. Allie
would first like to thank her
boyfriend, Daniel, for always
encouraging her in every
artistic pursuit, and loving her
through all of her crazy. Allie
would also like to thank her
brother, parents, and
grandparents for all of their
love and support. Finally, her
note to the audience: “This
show is so dear to my heart.
The message is clear; never
judge a book by its cover!
As you watch this beautiful
story unfurl, take the
opportunity to learn this
lesson well. People are the
way they are for a reason.
Sometimes, all they need is
someone to show them what
love is. I hope this show
touches your heart somehow,
too.”
