Set Construction/Design
Heather MooreHeather Moore returns to Miracle Players for her fourth production, working in both Set Design and being behind the curtain for "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." From princesses to Oz to candy contraptions, this marks her eighth show behind the scenes—at this point, it’s a lifestyle, and she’s learned to expect the unexpected. She’s especially proud to be part of another production alongside her daughters, Seeley and Sawyer, who take the stage while she keeps everything (mostly) running smoothly behind it.

Producer and Director
Kacy ConleyKacy Conley has been involved with the Miracle Players producing, directing, and acting for over 36 years which has been a joy. She also enjoys being a St. Gabriel cantor and choir member and performing with the Howard County Fabulous 50+ Players. Big thanks to her husband Dan for his support and hard work. Without him, the show would not go on. A major shout out of gratitude to the wonderful and persistent production team and this talented cast.
