This is a must-see performance and you have three more shows to choose from!
The opening night got underway with teacher Michael Batche (Advisor/Producer) as he announced “Live Theater is Back in Hopatcong” giving credit to HS Seniors Sarah Donnelly, Emily Rennie, and Shannon O'Sullivan who devised the plan, met with the superintendents and revised the plan to answer all of the difficult questions on how this could work during the COVID era.
The hard work from these initial three and eventually the entire cast and crew paid off on Thursday as you could just feel the energy from both the audience and the actors on stage. |
Hopatcong Board of Education member Candice Smith captured the true essence of the performance after the show.
"Opening night of Hopatcong High School's Drama department's production of Grease was electric! I've never seen so many people come on a Thursday night, and a rainy night at that!
The buzz generated for this highly anticipated return to the HHS stage was mindboggling! What we saw in that theater blew us all away. There was uproarious laughter, there were people singing in their seats, there were outbursts of applause.
People love this period romantic musical comedy set in 1959 and still flock to see it. All in attendance adhered to the "Mandatory Mask" rule in the school, but it did nothing to contain the overall joy felt throughout. For an entertaining, nostalgic, hilarious, and simply FUN evening - or Saturday matinee - out, the Hopatcong High School's production of Grease is THE ticket!"
