TV: Fidelity FutureStage Finale Performance of the Hillcrest High School Play 'RELATIONSHIPS'

The Theater Institute at Hillcrest High School is represented in the Fidelity FutureStage program by the selected play, Relationships.

Student playwright Sukhjit had the idea for her play one Saturday afternoon when she heard a friend talking about dating several different girls at once. This lead her to think about how the male mind works and how it can affect the lives of those around him. The able cast, Hakeem, Sasha, Natasha and Jeremy have fun exploring the many mysteries of modern married life. Relationships also highlights the assistant directing work of Andres, stage management by Jaswinder and the understudies, Rodney and Erica.

Fidelity FutureStage enables over 600 NYC students from 10 different public schools to get a real view into the world of Broadway theater. Students learn firsthand from industry professionals about acting, playwriting, directing and all the behind-the-scenes production. Over the past seven months, students have met Kathleen Marshall (GREASE!), Lin-Manuel Miranda (In The Heights), Chazz Palminteri (A Bronx Tale), Roger Bart (Young Frankenstein), Charles "Roc" Dutton (The Piano Lesson) and more. One play from each participating school was selected for the Fidelity FutureStage finale, marking an unparalleled New York theatrical debut for the students.
