There is a season … and this fall was one for the reuniting of two Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) Tower Player alumni for theatrical arts’ sake.

Lainie Lombardo, a 2024 RFH graduate and frequent featured player on the RFH stage, just completed her first show run, a 1920s version of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, this past weekend. One of only two freshmen at Arcadia University even cast, Lombardo, in the university’s BFA Musical Theater program, played Feste the Fool in the classic play.

As if that were enough good RFH Tower Player alum news, Lombardo, in her first semester at the university, has been taught acting by a fellow RFH alum and Tower Player — Alice Yorke.

Now that’s double the RFH talent, fun and good fortune heading into the future. What a reunion!

This show may be over, but there’s more time to play on and break legs in new shows, Tower Players!
