This year’s Brooklyn crew squad is relentlessly-working on the set for the upcoming play (the week of March 8), Freaky Friday. They have been working hard and building the sets since the beginning of November, which is later than usual as they awaited a final green light that there would be a performance this academic year.
By limiting the number of students per session, the crew has been under a lot of stress with meeting deadlines, but crew leader Mr. Chris Kaspar believes that this group will be ready because of their ability to perform under pressure and because of their determination to persevere.
“We are a much smaller group than in years past, but this group is special and is determined because of the leadership provided by over 15 seniors,” stated Kaspar. “They are the glue that holds us together.”
This year’s Freaky Friday sets will resemble a classroom, a backyard, a kitchen, and a counselor’s room; there will also be a scene in a high school hallway surrounded by lockers.
After last year’s cancelation of Newsies (on opening night – March 12, 2020), Kasper is very excited for this year’s play to be performed in front of limited audience members as well as online. He believes that every set, neatly and creatively built, will be ready to go.
“Having to shut down last year’s play on the day that it was to be performed was a punch in the gut. But, that was last year, and this year, we are ready and excited to present Freaky Friday.”
Thank you Mr. Kaspar and all of the crew members for dedicating your time to make this year’s play happen!
Now, break a leg, not a set.
