TV: Fidelity FutureStage Hillcrest High School Play 'RELATIONSHIPS'

The Theater Institute at Hillcrest High School is represented in the Fidelity FutureStage program by the selected play, Relationships. In this video the play's student author, cast and crew discuss the excitement and challenges of bringing the play to audiences.

Relationships tells the humorous tale of two husbands who plot to escape from their unhappy marriages, only to find out that what they were looking was at home waiting for them the whole time. 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. They also attend Broadway shows and each student writes a 10-minute play. Ultimately, one play from each school is chosen and performed by the students at New World Stages this June.
