Hicksville High School’s Repertory Company recently lit up the Charles “Chuck” Arnold Theatre with three performances of Play On! by Rick Abbot on Nov. 21 and 22.
This laugh-out-loud comedy follows a theatre troupe struggling to stage a production despite constant meddling from an overbearing playwright who insists on rewriting the script. Act I captures a chaotic early rehearsal, Act II showcases a wildly uneven dress rehearsal, and Act III presents the performance itself where everything that can go wrong inevitably does. The playwright’s unexpected decision to deliver a speech on modern theatre during the curtain call sends the show into a frantic, comedic finale.
Guided by English teacher and director Dena Civello, with technical direction by Tech teachers Catherine Temps and Christopher Fiorello and support from Student Assistant Director Ravieen Sahansra, the talented cast of ten delivered memorable and energetic performances that showcased their hard work, creativity, and collaboration.
Hicksville High School’s Repertory Company continues to inspire the community through its dedication to the performing arts, and this latest production once again highlighted the remarkable talent thriving within the school’s theatre program.
