Although this year looks a little different, there is one thing we can all agree upon – The Show Must Go On, or at least according to the Rockland High School Theatre Department.
This fall, Joanne White and Julia DiCanzio, directors of the RHS Drama team came up with an idea to put together a production with the Drama Club students. Ms. White explained, “We needed to figure out a safe, manageable way to put together a production that still allowed students to be creative. We wanted to make it as supportive as possible for them with everything going on.”
Students had the option to choose or write their very own monologue. It took about three weeks to put together with virtual rehearsals, virtual meetings and recordings. Christopher Burnieika of WRPS helped record it.
The final product is called “A Medley of Monologues.” (Video link here)
Performers included:
Alex Anzivino as the Smoldering Spencer from “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle”
Elias Carbone performing The Circle of Life from “The Lion King”
Anthony DiNino wrote and performed a personal monologue – “The Multiplication Train”
Dillon Doyle crushed it as Buddy the Elf from the hit movie “Elf”
Callie Gillan performed a dramatic monologue from “True Crime”
McKenna Maher nailed it with her performance from “Pretty”
Fiona Overstreet performed a comedic monologue from “The First Dear Evan Hansen Letter”
Ben Pattison had us all laughing as Louis from “Hot Dogs”
Jonah Pishkin wrote and performed an inspirational monologue called “Fear, Chaos, Pain”
Luci Pumphrey presented a dramatic performance as Linda from “Pay Attention”
Cailin Sullivan closed the show with her dynamite performance as Lyndsey McElroy from the comedy show, “Two and a Half-Men.”
The students took the new challenge head-on and recorded an outstanding performance of “A Medley of Monologues.” Enjoy!
Directors Ms. White and Ms. DiCanzio
