Students at Long Beach Middle School took center stage recently with two performances of this year’s school play, Superheroes: With Great Powers Comes Ordinary Responsibility.

The comedic, heartfelt play tells the story of a group of young superheroes navigating the challenges of growing up not through epic battles, but by managing school stress, friendships, chores, and homework. As their powers emerge, they quickly learn that being super isn’t always about saving the world, sometimes, it’s about remembering to take out the trash, turn in assignments on time, and be there for the people who matter most.

Long Beach English and Theatre Arts Teacher and Theatre Arts Director Leslie Kohn said, “Our students displayed remarkable talent and professionalism, and I couldn’t be prouder of their hard work, growth and dedication.” “Their comedic timing and stage presence brought each scene to life, keeping the audience engaged and captivated.” She continued, “Throughout the production, they cultivated essential skills such as blocking, voice projection, and enunciation.”
