Meet the
2026 DIRECTORS
Hello, McKenzie! We are Katy Jones-Pritchard, Chris Williams, and Adamo Gumowski. Collectively, we are responsible for raising a small army of daughters. That’s right—between the three of us, we have zero sons and roughly 4,000 hair ties.
We have taken on the role of Variety Show Directors for 2026 not because of talent, but because of our years of negotiating with little girls and realizing that we are uniquely trained to manage high-stakes drama, elaborate costume changes, and the occasional emotional meltdown.
Combined we have performed our way through 17 Variety Shows, but what really matters is that we are pretty typical parents: tired, grateful, and running on caffeine and school spirit. We are living the Wilmette dream, one "dad joke" and "mom glare" at a time, and after nearly an entire year of planning we are so excited to share Variety Show 2026 with you.
Together with the amazing cast, producers, crew and more people than can be named, we’ve built a show that is silly, joyful, and 100% focused on community and raising money for our school. So, welcome to the show and here’s to imagination, exploration, creativity and, if we’re honest, a little humiliation along the way (we hope our daughters eventually forgive us)!
Your dues help us cover all of the social activities that the team works tirelessly to put together for our cast: from epic all cast parties to gifts for key people that make our show possible. Please pay your dues promptly!
