What can we say about this graduating senior class other than it has been a pleasure from start to finish! What an incredible four years we have had! For our Stage 700 group starting our with Les Miserables freshman year, then Mamma Mia, Sweeney Todd, and finishing with Anything Goes - you have proved to be one extremely talented and versitile group!! And for our TWON group we started with Puffs which was just an incredible family experience and so much fun even if we wore masks! Then we continued with Sunflowers, Clue, and Radium Girls. Again we showed that BC theatre really can do it all! We can't wait to see all of the wonderful things you do next. Thank you for a wonderful four years and for being a part of our theatre family! We wish you all the best next year!!
My name is Alexis Dievendorf and I've been doing shows with BC Stage 700 for all four years of high school. This community is so special to me and I love how kind and helpful everyone has been. I'm so proud of each and every show we've put out! After high school, I will be attending SUNY Geneseo to major in early childhood education to be a preschool teacher. I would like to continue doing theater in college because it has always been such a huge part of my life. Thank you to everyone who makes the shows what they are! I will always remember my time at Stage 700.

Bcstage700 has always been more than my love for musical theater. It was a community to turn to that shared the same passion you did. During my time, I never felt judged by any of my peers. It was always like we were all one. We were not separated by leads or ensemble and never looked down upon by bigger leads. I feel so lucky, and honored to be part of something so big. The shows bring people closer together and have made me amazing friendships . From Starbucks and Crumble drop offs, to pre-show circles, to the smiles after we finish a show; I will never forget this huge part of my high school life. I plan to go to school to become an elementary teacher. I will for sure be including music into my classroom. I’m hoping to stay local so I can student teach here. While I am not going to school for musical theater I plan to still be a part of clubs, choirs and shows if allowed. I owe a huge thank you to: Ms. Roos, Ms Dashew, Mr Das`hew, Ms Bailey, Ms Convernito and all the parent helpers, the shows would never be possible or the same without you guys being such incredible teachers. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to make such a great show. I am so extremely glad for this experience that I’ve had.
