Ridgewood NJ, Jamboree 2021 Mission Impossible Streaming February 4th,5th and 6th. The following is a comment off of a Facebook group which explains what Jamboree is all about and why it is such a worthwhile cause :
“This year marks the 75th show for Ridgewood High School’s Jamboree, one of the great traditions of the Ridgewood community, that raised over $200,000 last year to help Ridgewood families in need with college expenses. Last year alone, 41 families benefited from the money raised. This year that need is greater than ever because of the pandemic and the production was filmed rather than it’s usual sold out live performances. It was no easy feat to accomplish this, with 165 cast members and 15 people on the creative team and crew. This year’s show is aptly named “Mission Impossible” !”
“We have been working diligently, not only to put on an amazing show, but to do it safely for all involved. A very special tribute is planned this year for the late great Jean Thomas, who was the heart and soul of this show for many, many years. We feel lucky to have shared the stage with him, even if it was for too short a time. The finished film will be streamed online early this year. I am once again participating in the Jamboree show as an alumni and had a blast as they filmed the “Dancing in the Street” number with the entire cast on East Ridgewood Avenue.
