Despite being displaced through the process of renovation, losing their stage, rigging their lights, etc, the Noble Academy drama class continues to have success at the NCTC regional drama competition.  We received this email from Michelle Long, the Education Director of the Children's Theater of Charlotte:

On behalf of the North Carolina Theatre Conference Board of Directors, I am pleased to congratulate you and your school on your accomplishments at the 2011 NCTC High School Play Festival this year.
 
The mission of the North Carolina Theatre Conference is to improve and enhance the environment for quality theatre in North Carolina through service, leadership and advocacy. The primary goals of the NCTC High School Play Festival are to foster collaboration, cooperation, and communication among theatre arts programs and to provide a supportive, nurturing atmosphere in which young artists are free to explore the world of theatre.

This event aims to stimulate interest in theatre arts in schools and communities across North Carolina. It functions both as a showcase and as a means of assessing and improving the standards of theatre arts programs in the state. All of the schools participating in the festival are organizational members of the North Carolina Theatre Conference. The festival your students participated in is one of eight regional festivals held across the state, which featured approximately 1800 students from 85 schools with 120 productions.

With that in mind, we wish to help your school celebrate the hard work and success at the festival and have attached a press release you may use for internal or external purposes to honor the following recognition(s) garnered by your school:
