Additionally; Mark Alvarado, Ana Castro, Lang Martinez, Felipe Gonzales and the Oxnard Police Department were key players that helped open the doors to private lives of homelessness in Oxnard."

I am once again composing the thank you section 10 minutes before the show begins. Arts Under The Stars is a huge undertaking and many helpers come from across campus to participate, add their talents, proofread, solve tech issues, shovel sand bags for tents, the list is endless. The credits for AUTS would like like the end of a summer blockbuster. So, with ten minutes left, I am lacking in placing the appropriate credit, but know all my angels who brought food, checked spelling, stayed late and sent messages of good tidings, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. AUTS would not happen without you.
Wait, there is one person who this show would no be possible, and she is a senior this year and I do not know what I will do without her in the drivers seat.
CRISTY RODRIGUEZ RIVAS- THANK YOU! She is the most epic and fantastic stage manager ever!
I am so proud of you, without you, non of this would be possible.
