The auditorium at Hoffman was abuzz with excitement as students took the stage for the annual fall play November 15. This year’s production, A Walk with the Bard, proved to be a crowd-pleaser, drawing a packed house filled with students, parents, and members of the local community.
The play, a creative mash-up of iconic scenes from William Shakespeare’s works, showcased the timeless appeal of the stories, from the tragic romance of Romeo and Juliet to the soliloquies of Hamlet.
Highlights of the evening included a lively rendition of the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet, which earned enthusiastic applause, and a powerful performance of Hamlet’s break up scene.
