High school theater troupe praised for staging controversial play

Three months after "The Laramie Project" made the West Park Players perhaps the most famous high school drama club in New Jersey, the spotlight shone on 32 young actors who, for a few hours Thursday night, transformed Ocean into that Wyoming town where as one character says "hate is not a value."

Fifteen minutes before curtain, drama coach Bob Angelini corraled the cast and crew into an industrial arts room off backstage and climbed on top of one of the work tables bolted into the floor.

There were some laughs at this feat, but that was more to do with the general sense of euphoria and nerves as the auditorium next door filled up with 400 to 500 audience members from all over the community.

"Here we are," Angelini said, as his cast looked up at him.Cause Of Lower Back Pain
