WAMS 2025
Frozen Jr. - Fantastic Fun!
The OLQM Wig and Mask Society (WAMS) producers Amy Dobski and Audrey Landgraff, along with the Frozen Jr. cast and crew wanted to thank OLQM staff and school & parish families for all their support of our production this year.
A special thank you goes to Mrs. Davidson, Monsignor Browne, Colleen Everly, Susan Hamm, Mike Hughes, Steve Atwell and Katie Wolff for their extra efforts to make the show a success.
We greatly appreciate Deacon Chris for joining the cast and crew backstage opening night to give a beautiful blessing. Deacon shared with the group that Pope Saint John Paul II was an actor before becoming a priest and said in a letter to artists, “Those who perceive in themselves this kind of divine spark which is the artistic vocation—as poet, writer, sculptor, architect, musician, actor and so on—feel at the same time the obligation not to waste this talent but to develop it, in order to put it at the service of their neighbor and of humanity as a whole.” Deacon also shared a unique bent cross that Pope Saint John Paul II made popular symbolizing how Jesus carried the weight of our sins.
Of course, a tremendous congratulations again to our talented cast and crew who worked so very hard to put on an amazing production! It truly was a spectacular show enjoyed by all!
To our outgoing 8th graders Victoria Jurewicz, Cameron Jett, Maggie Buckles and Kate Dienes, thank you for sharing your many talents with us over the years. Please continue to live WAMS’ mission to let your light shine and brighten the path for others as you begin this exciting chapter of your life. Remember, you always have a home at WAMS.
Special congratulations to OLQM Parent Stephanie Jett, recipient of the Patty Payne Let Your Light Shine Award. The award, named for WAMS’ founder and first producer, was presented by WAMS Director Tiffany Sims closing night for Stephanie’s motivational, forward-focused leadership as an outstanding WAMS coach and behind-the-scenes magic maker. This year, a very special Patty Payne Let Your Light Shine Award was also awarded to a WAMS student, Cameron Jett, for her WAMS leadership and for so generously sharing her passion for theatre with the OLQM community over the past five years. WAMS truly appreciates the positive impact this mother-daughter power duo has made on our program.
We look forward to creating many more memorable WAMS moments next year. More updates coming soon!
