Twelve Angry Men Takes to the Stage

After seven months of waiting and wondering when or if it would even happen, the virtual curtain rose on Seton Hall Prep’s production of Twelve Angry Men yesterday afternoon to the delight of both a socially distanced in the auditorium and another live-streaming audience over the internet. Kept from performing on the original date back in November due to Covid-19 protocols, the cast continued to work and rehearse through the winter and early spring under the direction of Theater Arts Director Theresa Neglia. Finally, with an outdoor performance as part of the Spring Arts Festival rained out two weeks ago, the cast and crew came through with a riveting performance Saturday afternoon in Bayley Seton Auditorium. The event had a bitter sweet backstory, as the performance marked the final production directed by the retiring Mrs. Neglia after more than 25 years of remarkable contributions in the Theater Arts Department, both on the stage and in the classroom.
     The cast comprised Connor Gorman, Louis Scafidi, Ben Ferrara, David Akoh, Chris Duff, Anthony Bottino, Nathaniel Tabora, Will Kennedy, Ean Miller, Joaquin Suriel, Justin Abbott, Greg Dort and Matthew Bardi. The live stream was produced by The Prep’s new Live Streaming Club.
