STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — This week’s Staten Island’s Best Dressed features images from a special presentation of “The Addams Family: Young@Part” by the students of The Hungerford School, one of the largest District 75 schools on the island catering to students with special needs. The performance took place on March 26 in anticipation of World Theatre Day on March 27.
The students collaborated with Inside Broadway, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the grandeur of Broadway to public school students in New York. Over the last four decades, Inside Broadway has impacted more than 3 million children through its programs.
The Hungerford School focuses on delivering tailored educational programs to students with diverse learning styles and significant challenges. Their goal is to promote independence and facilitate community integration to ensure post-graduation success.
The production of “Addams Family: Young@Part,” designed for elementary and middle schools, marked the culmination of three months of intense rehearsals by the Hungerford students.
