FHS' Applied Theatre is a grassroots, student-driven group of young people who come together weekly to use the arts as a medium for exploring issues of social importance in their community.  Exploring possibilities through art since 2007 and officially established in 2010, this group has won critical acclaim from political leaders in New Jersey and New York, as well as winning the Golden Bell

Leadership Award for Innovation and Education

from the Mental Health Association of NJ and a

regional Emmy Nomination for their original

devised drama, "Shadows," which explores

the stories of bullying.  "Shadows" recently

returned from a wildly successful run at the

Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland.

 

In 2013, FHS' Applied Theatre created a new

Forum Theatre piece, "Choices," which allows the

audience to step in and change the outcome of the story.

Helping to create dialogue around are choices truly irrevocable

and who is around us to help?

​

FHS Applied Theatre tours doing workshops

and performances for schools, colleges,

teachers and communities as part of their

on-going mission to change the world through

music, theatre, dance and video.
