The composers would like to thank the Compass Theatre & Arts Centre and its entire staff for their valued contribution to this production of “Vincent - Prisoner of a Dream”. We found that the whole team was behind this project from the start and we enjoyed the warm family atmosphere created by their enthusiasm throughout. Our cast of dedicated actors brought their skills and commitment to this new work with a passion and loyalty exceeding our expectations and our director and musical director met the challenge of the totally blank canvas that new music presents with ease and confidence. They were all both patient and accommodating with the changes that we have found necessary during the growth of this production. The essential jobs required to stage a show such as this, including stage crew, costume, artists and scenery were carried out conscientiously and to a high standard.
We appreciate everyone’s effort and dedication in making “Vincent - Prisoner of a Dream” possible.

Neil Keveren & Christopher Skornia
