Young Playwrites Contest Update

In our September 10 issue of the Weekly Update, we wrote about one of Ms. Nonack's students from last year, Shelby Powers, who was a winner in The Young Playwright's Contest for City Theatre. Her play was recently performed at City Theatre. Shelby had the opportunity to design the set, work with their playwrights and actually cast the play. Below is the link to Shelby's play. "Spring in the Underworld." It starts at the 24:52 mark. Shelby had a hand in all aspects of this production. Ms. Noncak's wrote: "I am so proud of all the work that she did on this." Well, Done, Shelby!
