The Performing Arts Department’s production of Brighton Beach Memoirs opens Friday, November 21st at 7:30 pm in Driscoll Auditorium.  Set in Brooklyn, New York’s Brighton Beach in 1937, the semi-autobiographical coming-of-age comedy is the first play in what is known as Simon’s “Eugene Trilogy” and is considered one of his best works.

Performances continue Saturday at 7:30 pm and Sunday at 2 pm.  Tickets are available at the door prior to each performance and are $7 for adults and $5 for students and seniors.  The production is rated PG-13.

Prep is full of possibilities, whether you like to experiment with the latest in digital photo equipment, take the stage to sing, play or perform, or reach for the stars academically.

On Friday, November 14th, prospective students and their parents can experience some of these possibilities, and the energy and vibrancy they bring to life at Prep, at our annual Admissions Open House.

The program begins at 2 pm.  Students will have the opportunity to explore the Apple-equipped digital photo lab, throw a pot in the ceramics studio or see a rehearsal of our fall play, “Brighton Beach Memoirs.” They can also visit classrooms and learn a few words of Latin, explode something in the science lab, or write a poem with our 7th-grade English teacher.  Coaches will be on hand to talk about our no-cut sports program, and faculty will be available to answer questions about clubs and other extracurricular activities, like speech and debate and Model UN.
