Gotta give those students, teachers, and administration props for such a great idea.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.
HS students put on a stage production of ‘Alien,’

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!!

Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden! Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter! spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now!

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