Kudos to the cast and crew of "Humans" for their performance at the annual Theater Guild festival competition held this past Friday in Boston. The original production was written, directed and performed by HHS students. Having made it through 2 rounds to get into the finals, this is the first time in a very long time that HHS has made it this far in the competition. Their production was outstanding and we are so proud of their dedication, talent and enthusiasm!

Kudos also go to Mr. Brian Hickey and Kristen and Bud Dodge for their tremendous support of the Drama students and their endeavors. Thank you for ALL you do!

BRAVO to one and ALL!!
