I don't know how I forgot to mention this, but last week the four of us went to Tappan Middle School (J's employer) and saw a middle-school rendition of the musical "Grease". But it wasn't a typical middle-school performance - there were dozens of cast members beyond the T-Birds, Pink Ladies, cheerleaders, nerds, and adults. The costumes were terrific, the orchestra was first-rate, and the kids performed well beyond what you'd expect for their ages. For some numbers, students filled the aisles of the auditorium and danced, sang, and provided a lot of color and excitement.
Here is a writeup of the show, with some pictures.
It was very impressive.
The group that produced it, The Tappan Players, are not supported by the public schools other than using the facilities. They are a private group, and the students who performed paid to be a part of the show.
No expense was spared to put on this show, and it was apparent. Makes you wonder what they could possibly do next year to top it...
