Nancy began her involvement with the Stamford All-School Musical in 2007 as a cast parent and has volunteered since 2008 as Producer. Nancy retired from practicing law to raise her family and soon found that the best way to combine her love of musicals (which began in 6th grade in a production of Gilbert & Sullivan's "The Mikado") with her desire to spend time with her children was to produce musicals in the Stamford Public Schools - for the Stamford All-School Musical, Northeast Elementary School, Turn of River Middle School and Westhill High School. In 2005, Nancy founded the 5th Grade Musical program at Northeast and spent  nine years on the board of Westhill High School's Northstar Parent Production Group. In 2018, Nancy received the Stamford Public Education Foundation's Excellence in Education Leadership Award and she was the 2014 recipient of the Special Achievement in Arts Education Award by the Connecticut High School Musical Theater Awards for her work at Westhill High School.

Scott is happy to be back for his ninth year at the Stamford All-School Musical. His two boys have been actively involved in the Stamford All-School Musical (both behind the scenes and on stage).

Scott believes strongly in exposing children to the arts and has volunteered his time to productions at Newfield Elementary School, Rippowam Middle School and Stamford High Schoolas well as the Stamford All-School Musical.
