Shauna is recognized in the Wilmington area for choreographing (and sometimes directing) shows at many local schools and venues! Last year was her first year as the creative head of Concord Players, directing Elf, Jr. and Legally Blonde. She loves watching the excitement the students get from being on stage and performing a show that makes everyone's lives a little happier! Shauna also owns the largest Disney and Universal Authorized Travel agency in Delaware - Magic Plus Travel! Much love to her Kiddos, Paul, and Mom for putting up with her insane schedules and outlandish visions and always making them come to life and for being willing to drop everything to help her, to our parent volunteers for always being on top of everything, to Melanie for never saying any dream is too big and to my Dad - Kevin Hitchens - who came out of retirement to work with me as the stagecraft head- It's a new favorite memory I will have forever!

25 years ago, I started working backstage on high school productions, and thanks to my daughter Shauna and 30+ shows later I have returned to the stage to see my grandkids perform again. Over the years I have had a chance to work with entertainment lighting manufacturers as a national engineer, and meet numerous performers but returning to high school theater is truly an opportunity to see future artist learn and grow. Many thanks go out to my wife Debbie for sharing her time while we prepared the stage, and built the sets for Seussical, Jr.

Ms. Mijares is thrilled to be back for another year of Theatre! This is her fourth year Concord, and her third year working with the Drama program. At Concord, she has music directed Mamma Mia, Elf, Jr., and Legally Blonde. As Drama Advisor, she has served as producer for the ill-advised 48-Hour productions of High School Musical, Jr. and Into the Woods, Jr. Before teaching at CHS, Ms. Mijares was the co-director and co-founder of the drama program at Snow Hill High School. Her favorite role to date is the Wicked Witch in The Magical Land of Oz where she notoriously made a small child cry in the audience with her witchy cackle. She directs the choral ensembles at Concord and also teaches the Musical Theater elective course. In her free time she enjoys baking cookies and putting on one-woman performances for her cat. Thank you to the cast, crew, pit, production staff, and all of the parents and volunteers that helped make this show happen!

Matt is a Delaware native and graduate of Mount Pleasant High School. He is excited to be working on Seussical, Jr.! Matt has been designing and working on sound and lighting for the Brandywine School District’s high school productions for the past 10 years. He has worked on community theater, regional theater, and professional theater productions over the years. Matt’s favorite part about working on the high school productions is teaching and advising the students on how to use the lighting and sound equipment. During the performances, all lighting and sound equipment is operated by Concord High School students! Break a leg to all cast and crew!

Beth has costumed many local productions throughout the Wilmington area and we are extremely grateful to have her as our costume mistress. Thank you to Beth for stepping in to take on this massive and extremely important role in our program––without her, our students would likely be walking on stage in trash bags!
