Seton Hall Prep is New Jersey’s oldest Catholic college preparatory school. The Prep's tradition is matched by its commitment to the education of young men by teaching them to think critically, communicate effectively and become contributing members of society.
At Seton Hall Prep, students participate in many of the amazing offerings available to them outside of the classroom. This includes 15 sports, more than 70 activities and clubs, a variety of intramurals and a seemingly endless number of service projects.
Educating the whole man includes teaching a true understanding of the importance of service and actually participating in the service of others in need.
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. [view the photo album] [view it here on YouTube; advance to around the 40 minute mark.]
