Additionally, while not discussed in the video, the behind-the-scenes efforts of our theater's sound, lighting, and stage crew play a crucial role in the success of the Holiday Spectacular. This team, made up of Elyria High School students and led by JR Simons with assistance from Jay Cleland, deserves its own round of applause. Thank you, EPAC Crew, for your hard work in shining the light on our performers, both literally and figuratively!
