Three Huntingtown High School students earned Superior ratings at the International Thespian Festival held recently at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln.
Kaidyn Sexton and Seth Barton earned a Superior rating for their duet scene and were invited to perform for the entire festival audience. Only five scenes nationwide earned this distinction.
Mackenzy Zachry earned a Superior rating on her costume portfolio for her design work in Persuasion and Billy Elliot.
The 2017 Festival marks the second year in a row that students from Huntingtown High School earned high distinctions.
Organized by the Educational Theatre Association and hosted at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, the Festival is a one-of-a-kind, weeklong immersion experience in singing, dancing, acting, designing, directing, and writing for the thousands of students who attend each year after winning at the state level. The Festival features workshops presented by theatre professionals, individual and group performances, programs for technical theatre students, and opportunities to audition for college admission and scholarships.
