Junior High Drama Wins State Honors
A selected number of our junior high students competed in the North
Carolina Middle School Play Festival on March 17. The primary goals of
the yearly held festival are to foster collaboration and communication
among theatre arts programs, and to provide a supportive, nurturing
atmosphere for young artists. The event functions both as a showcase
and as a means of assessing and improving the standards of theatre
arts programs in the state. There were nine shows from middle schools
competing on that day and the students are judged by prestigious
educators, actors and directors in the field. The following students
were on the competition team representing Noble Academy: Rae Gordon,
Eleanor Shafer, Grant Geiss, Noah Taylor, Steven Garfunkel, George
Kirkpatrick, Walker Medlin, and Max Beaman There are five excellence
in acting for males awarded. Out of over 100 students competing that
day Max Beaman was on of the five winners. The students also won an
award for excellence in Costume Concept. There are two excellence in
ensemble acting awards given. Our students received one of them. The
plays themselves are rated as either good, excellent, or superior. Our
students received a superior rating. There are three excellence in
directing awards and your ever so humble Skelley received one. To
conclude Noble Academy took home five awards that evening. I am very
proud of these students and all the hard work and dedication they put
into this production. I would also like to thank the parents, whom
without their contributions, this show would not have been a success.
