In the fall of 1980 Mr Oberg arrived at West Essex as the 9th grade woodworking instructor. In the 40 years since, this has become his professional “home.” Throughout the years, Mr. Oberg has remained grateful to his wife and best friend Susan for her unwavering encouragement and support. The spring of 2020 will conclude Mr. Oberg’s tenure as the stage crew advisor as well as his teaching career here at WE. It has been a blessing to have worked over the last 32 years with so many dedicated & talented people. Cruise ships, pirate ships, enchanted castles and man-eating plants all add to the fond memories of this wonderful experience. It is my sincere hope that this, my last show (for real this time) here at West Essex, is a memorable experience for all who attend. God bless and enjoy the show.
