Watch the must-see high school theater version of ‘ALIEN’

The theater team at North Bergan High School made internet headlines a few months with a charming staged production of the sci-fi horror classic ‘ALIEN’. It’s not your average stage adaption from a drama club, usually you get your standard musicals but this show gained rave reviews for it’s charming crafted special effects and dedication to the oringal 1980 classic film, so much that an encore performance was put on recently with star of the film Sigourney Weaver introducing the play.

Here you can see the entire play shot on a single 4k camera. Just based on the video quality, it does not lend itself to full watch but skimming through you really have to appreciate what this drama club put together and performed. Youtube user ButtonSmasher says the school will release a professionally recording of the production in the future.

Film legend Ridley Scott who directed the film, donated along with the town of North Bergen donated money for the encore production.

Alien is celebrating it’s 40th anniversary with several short films and more special events.

Here is how the breakout play was put together from creation of the props and costumes from recycled materials and more. It’s truly a remarkable form of creative energies coming together.
