Please see tip, pledge and subscribe buttons or my venmo is @Rich-Monetti Slideshow 42nd Street first premiered in 1932 and tells the iconic story of a small town girl who makes it big under the bright lights. “This is as old school Broadway as you can get,” said Anne-Marie Gerard Galler. So a time warp is probably the only way we could see the production now. But thanks to the John Jay High School Theater Workshop the space time continuum does not need to be manipulated and neither does the MetroNorth ticket machine.

John Jay Has a Lot to be Proud of Despite Loss to Peekskill
Please see tip, pledge and subscribe buttons or my venmo is : @Rich-Monetti After starting their season at 1-5, John Jay went 10-4 and earned the league championship. A berth in the sectionals wasn’t bad either. But the merit still meant playing fourth seeded Peekskill and their 14-6 record. No complaints, John Jay’s good early start didn’t hold up after a long season.
