Hi, my name is Anthony Festa and I am so excited to be here at Saddle River Day School directing this production of Pippin. From the very first rehearsal, I’ve been inspired by the creativity, commitment, and joy these students bring into the room. Theatre at its heart is about discovery — finding your voice, taking risks, and working together to tell a story — and this cast has done all of that and more. It has been a privilege to watch them grow through this process, balancing the hard work of rehearsal with the fun, laughter, and play that make theatre such a unique art form. I’m deeply grateful to the faculty, staff, and families who have supported us along the way. So sit back, relax, and join us on this magical journey as we explore the story of Pippin.
