Romeo and Juliet: Literature in Action

This week, Mrs. Troutman’s Pre-AP English I students explored Act IV of Romeo and Juliet through group reading, discussion, and creative interpretation.

Over the past two weeks, Hoboken High theatre students have been busy both watching and creating live performance.

High school students organized the event, which welcomed nearly 200 guests, including K-12 cast members and their families. This tradition helps transform the cast into a tight-knit theatre family.
