This is so cool.
Most high school productions play things pretty safe, but New Jersey’s North Bergen High School threw caution to the wind in an attempt to adapt the 1979 sci-fi classic Alien for the stage. The challenges of taking a Hollywood film and turning it into a stage play are many, but to say that the students pulled it off would be a massive understatement.
Gotta give those students, teachers, and administration props for such a great idea.

I saw this article!
The videos are really neat. A lot of love went into that production.
To think instead of playing "the Taxi Driver" in Harvey, or "Lt. Brannigan" in Guys & Dolls, my HS could have done this instead!! :lol:

YES!
They need to do a follow up. That’s one of the best movie lines ever. :D
