Rocky Point Students Bring The House Down With 'Freaky Friday'

Press release from the Rocky Point School District:

March 8, 2022

Rocky Point High School has long had a reputation for putting on premium stage productions. This year’s performance of Disney’s “Freaky Friday” was no exception. Bringing back the time-honored tradition of inviting community senior citizens and Rocky Point’s own staff and families to the rehearsal show and two weekend performances is an exceptional achievement on its own.

With stage direction from music teacher Ms. Jessica Spitz and pit orchestra direction from music teacher Ms. Amy Schecher, dozens of students took to the stage in leading and supporting roles, performed in the orchestra, worked as choreography captains, assistant directors, production and stage crew members.

The show’s heartfelt messages are of a mother and her teenage daughter who come to appreciate one another’s struggles, learn self-acceptance and realize the immeasurable love and mutual respect that bond them when they magically swap bodies for a day.

Those great messages and hard work, appreciation, camaraderie and pure fun were also shared among the students in their many months of rehearsals.
