"The creative contribution, professionalism and energy that the Aloft team delivered over long rehearsals and non-stop performances was nothing short of amazing! Shayna listened to and adopted our vision, creating stunning choreography. The complexity of Imagine Christmas required flexibility from the entire cast and crew. Aloft solved problems before I even knew there was an issue. The troupe was double and triple cast, everyone preformed at their peak with great attention to safety. It is an absolute joy to work with the Aloft team." -Julie Chappel--Willow Creek's Imagine Christmas Director
