“Catch Me at the Block,” NHHS Musical Comes to the Big Screen
The North Hills High School Drama Club, in partnership with the Block Northway, Ross Township Parks & Recreation and Police Departments, are pleased to present a Drive-in showing of the 2020 spring musical “Catch Me if You Can.”  The show was canceled due to building closures taking place just 5 days before it was set to open in March.  Through the district’s Athletics and Activities Return to Play plan, members of the cast and crew were able to come together for rehearsals and recording sessions in a socially distanced and safe manner, allowing the creation of a video performance.
 
On Friday and Saturday, September 25-26 at 8:00PM, the southwest parking lot (in front of Carter’s and Lands End) will be transformed into a Drive-in Movie Theater for 2 showings of the musical video.  Cars will park every other space to allow for social distancing, and several of the Block restaurants will offer a special menu of food items to be ordered ahead of time. Tables will be set up outside to pick up food orders to enjoy in vehicles while watching the show.
 
To reserve a space, visit www.nhchoiranddrama.net for access to the ShowClix online ticketing event.  Spaces are first come, first served, and will “sell out” at 100 for each night.
 
Food vendors partnering for this event include: PIADA Italian Street Food, Dave & Busters, Blaze Pizza, and Wahlburgers.  To view the menu items and instructions on how to order that night, click here.
 
The staff, cast, and crew are thankful to North Hills administration and board for allowing the creation of this video, showcasing the hard work of the talented performers.  With so much being taken away during the pandemic last spring, this is certainly something worth celebrating!

Our annual Cabaret Night was held February 21, 2020, and the video editing was almost finished when school closed for quarantine.  We were able to access the file over the summer and complete editing.  It is now posted on our NH Choir YouTube channel for you to enjoy.  Thanks to Josh Kubala for his work pulling the video together in unusal times!

During the quarantine period in the spring of 2020, members of the North Hills High School Symphonic Choir and Chorale recorded and submitted themselves singing their parts of our high school Alma Mater, composed by Linda Naumann.  As today is Opening Day for faculty and staff at North Hills, this virtual choir compilation was included in the welcome back video.

When the closure of school was announced, our high school drama club was 5 days away from opening night for the spring musical, Catch Me if You Can.  Almost all aspects of the production were ready to go, including the programs, filled with advertisements from family, friends, and supporters of North Hills Drama.

During the week of June 1, all cast, crew, and orchestra members were given bags with 2 copies of the program, a t-shirt, and a keepsake from the drama parents.  Additionally, programs and thank you letters were sent to each of our patron ad contributors.

Since we didn't get to perform for an audience and have the ads reach the large numbers we expected, we have posted the program PDF below.  Please consider supporting the area businesses who support the performing arts at North Hills.

We look forward to the day when we can share live performances together as we love to do.  Until that time, stay safe, and thank you for your continued support!
