McIntosh Theater

The Women of Lockerbie places Second at the State One Act Competition! Also honored was Kenzie Knudson who was named Best Actress! I am so proud of everything the cast and crew accomplished!

For the third time in four years, our one act play has advanced to the state competition. Women of Lockerbie won the regional competition and will next perform at the state competition on November 12. Kenzie was named Best Actress, and Joshua was named Best Actor (matching our sweep in 2014 for Five Kinds of Silence). The cast was also named Best Ensemble, making a sweep of all of the acting awards.

We have two Students of the Week this week. The first is Margo H.

From her nominating slip:  I want to nominate Margo Heath for the Drama Student of the Week for her outstanding audition for Cinderella. Her monologue and song were over the top and left a lasting impression on me. Along with being an amazing and helpful crew member, Margo also keeps everyone smiling and laughing! She is inspirational and uplifting to everyone she comes in contact with. Thanks Margo!

The second is Audrey L (aka Tech Goddess).

From her slip:

She pushes herself to improve and audition despite her stage fright. She doesn’t accept that doing 10,000 things for the theatre is enough and always looks for the 10,001^st thing to add. She’s all around so crazy talented and crucial to the success of our shows. Plus, she’s an amazing person.

There are three honorable mentions:

Josh S, for always giving honest feedback and being an amazing actor.

Collin T for “encouraging me to try my best. He encouraged me to try out for my first play…ever!”

Kenidee S for being an excellent person and a great actor, and a funny friend to be around.

Sorry, I’m a little behind on this. Last week’s winner was Hannah E. I forgot to write down her nominating slip, but I know it said that even though the nominator had only worked with her a few times, she is always friendly and helpful and is a great actress.

Honorable mentions go to Nesha for growing as an actor so much over the past year, Trey for being a great actor and for making drama class a lot of fun, and Slushie for being wonderful.

This week’s winner is Kat E. From her nominating slip:

Kat is always giving honest feedback. You can always trust her to help you. She is an amazing actress and a heck of a director.

Honorable mentions go to Kaitlyn R for being talented and so active in the drama program, Julian S for always giving great feedback, and Olivia B for a great performance, and me, for

A performance of Mrs. Drudge that is in the summit of the range of contemporary theatre.

Aw shucks, I’m blushing!

This week’s winner is Mykala J! From her nomination slip:

She pushed me to do well and is the reason for my success – she encouraged me to audition for Check Please, listened to me nervously ramble in every class before the afternoon of my audition, held onto my bag strap when I tried to ditch and run away (oh the shame!) offered words of encouragement when I got so nervous I blanked before the audition, held my hand while I cried five minutes before my actual audition, and told me no matter the results, I was till a skilled actor and a wonderful [person. She pushed me to do something I was terrified of doing but have wanted to do for four years now – a nearly impossible feat. Mykala: thank you – you are the reason for my success and I find you to be a wonderful person.

Honorable mentions to Cymmone Y  for “being a hard worker who always has a funny spirit,” Grace K for having “a bubbly personality and a spirit that makes the people around her happy,” and Emma S for “being amazing at acting!”
