Long Island City High School is represented in the Fidelity FutureStage program by the selected play, What's His Name?

Long Island City High School student playwright Claudia puts her feelings about high school coming to an end into her play, What's His Name? The play's actors, Kristi, Oscar, Chris, Angela and Samuel all could relate to the subject of moving on in your life after high school. The play also highlights the assistant directing work of Gianella, stage management by Ashley and the able support of understudies, Lawrence, Danielle, Katie, Ashley, Anthony and Dennis.

Fidelity FutureStage enables over 600 NYC students from 10 different public schools to get a real view into the world of Broadway theater.

One play from each participating school was selected for the Fidelity FutureStage finale, marking an unparalleled New York theatrical debut for the students.
