School Play “The Audition”

A huge congratulations goes out to the cast and crew of “The Audition”. On Saturday, they/we attended an awards banquet for the NTS Dramafest, and as a school we were awarded with much praise for our show. Additionally, an Award of Merrit was given to one of our performers for both her acting ability and for her skill as a choreographer. That performer was…Ana Sofia Resendiz-Ley. (Cheer). An award of Excellence was given to a person who took command of the stage and showed us the power of emotional commitment. That actor was … Julia Rizzuto. (Cheer). Congratulations to both of them and the entire cast and crew!!! (And a reminder to come to the drama room after school)

Thank you! We wanted to thank Mrs.Sauve and Mr.Esposito as well for all of their hard work, none of this would be possible without you! And last but not least, thank you to everyone who showed up to support our shows!
