The show began its preparation seven weeks prior to opening night. It was a long journey of actors memorizing scripts, dresses being sewn by our fantastic theater moms and Mr. Fessler, sets being built, constructed and painted, props being collected and thousands of other little details that go into a theater production being completed. Manhasset’s A School for Scandal was a fantastic performance and one not to miss!
