Legacy Spotlight
Legacy Theatre Newsletter - January 2023
In addition to Kayla Parker's National Qualifying Costume Designs from A Midsummer Night's Dream, we have another National Qualifier! Actor, Danny Wall, has qualified in both Solo Musical Theatre Performance and Monologue Performance through the Virtual Thespy contest.
The Thespy's are a contest run through the International Thespian Society and the Educational Theatre Association. Both Legacy Theatre Students have the Opportunity to perform in Bloomington, Indiana this summer at the International Thespian Festival.
The UIL One Act Play was very successful this year! BOB: A Life in Five Acts advanced all the way to the Bi-District contest in Waxahachie. We hoped to move on further, but the judges felt otherwise. However, we were not without some amazing individual awards!
District Awards: Danny Wall - Best Performer, Tristan DaLuz and Douglas Brown - Honorable Mention All-Star Cast, Jes Willis - Honor Crew.
Bi-District Awards - Danny Wall - All-Star Cast, Douglas Brown and Aleah Weitzman - Honorable Mention All-Star Cast, Maddy Frank - Honor Crew. We also receive the Best Technical Crew Award at Bi-District!
We had our final performances on March 28th and said farewell to Bob and his friends.
