A Trip to the Moon

In November, the Upper School presented A Trip to the Moon, a captivating vignette-style play set against the backdrop of the transformative summer of 1969. Told through 16 scenes, each inspired by iconic songs from the era, the production explored dreams that defined a generation—dreams of love, equality and the stars.

Featuring events like the moon landing and Woodstock, A Trip to the Moon brought history to life with humor, heart and a spirit of reflection. In the scene “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” a girl makes her case to attend Woodstock. In “Bad Moon Rising,” a woman fights for a job at NASA, while “Fortunate Son” depicts a soldier delivering a sobering reality check. The protest anthem “Come Together” rallies a group of activists, showing a young girl how to stand up for justice. 

“I joined this play just for fun,” senior Jack Davey said. “But being part of this production has become a highlight of my high school experience.” 

Director Eva Kay Noone was delighted by the the cast and crew. “The cast was large and diverse, with both seasoned actors and talented newcomers,” she said. “The students did an outstanding job with this script—they should be proud of their accomplishment!”
