TRAVER HECHT FELLELA was a bright young man and incredible spirit.  He was a student and alumni of our MTH Program and graduate of HTHS Class of 2012.  We lost him on August 31, 2013.  The mark of one's success may be based on character, dedication, commitment and passion. These are trivial words that would describe TRAVER. He was more than that. He personified the meaning of being a TRUE team player. Everything MTH strives to exemplify. He mastered it all. From behind the scenes in many shows, to ensemble work, student directing 'Sweet Charity', to portraying our beloved 'Abu' (Aladdin and Papermill Rising Star nominee) and 'Pinocchio', Traver was fearless. He taught us all to love, inspire others and to be proud of who you are. Our MTH Family will miss you- but luckily, you will continue to shine across the universe with your energy, light and soul and bring that to countless others. Thank you for sharing your joy with us, even if it was for a couple of years from 2009-2012, but someday my friend- we will meet again- and we will have a wonderful tap duet and make it rain tears of hard work, joy and most of all... grace. Thank you for all the memories. We dedicate this performance to you and had you in our minds every step of the way in putting this together.  Forever in our hearts - love, your MTH Family.
