The New London High School Theater Class begins work very early. Students are involved in the selection of the play as well as every aspect of the skills needed to produce a play. A few quotes from other schools who have performed this play solidify the idea — you must see this well-chosen play.
“You Go, Goddess! Is a hilarious heartwarming play for young people. It is an array of fun characters (perfect for large groups of students) and its Greek Mythology narratives make it perfect for any school production,” said Ariell Sosland, New York City Department of Education.
“Fun characters, lots of heart and a brand-new female hero that I was happy for our community children to get to know,” said Jeff Polito, Hammond LA.
“The kids of course loved Hercules but were cheering on Calliope by the end,” said Katy Truluck Baronich, Hammond LA.
“ … Goddess is a timeless girl power tale full of laughs, heart and triumph. … Goddess creates a world and relatable story full of modern colorful characters which any actor would love to play and with whom audiences can’t help but identify,” said Nicholas Clary, of South Orange, New Jersey.
New London’s talented students make every part of this production worth attending. Every performance should be standing room only.
