Fans Of The Performing Arts In 1979 at the inception of FOPA (Fans of the Performing Arts), under the leadership of Mrs. Sheila Thorpe, the group was dedi- cated to present to the student body of Plainfield High School, theater and dance through both traditional and or creative works. Over the next four years of our exis- tence, we have produced a full length play, “Wine in the Wilderness”, several original compositions, ‘‘The Cone Heads at Christ- mas’’, the recent ‘‘Lunchroom Blues”, and a number of poetic dramatic readings with song and, dance, both original and pub- lished for assembly programs. Also, FOPA has entered and placed as high as fifth in Kean College’s Annual Poetry Reading Contest. Our current directions are varied, to con- tinue in the vein of the past, to expand our productions in conjunction with the newly formed Performing Arts classes, to add an on going dance group, and to begin a trav- eling company. With these goals ahead, Mrs. Thorpe has a dedicated troupe and other advisors to help share the load, Mr. Michael Mosley, Mr. John Smith, and Mrs. Laverne Jones. If we had a motto, it might be something like this, ‘Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.’ FOPA is doing it. 12 | can't read.
