The Panther OAP represented our school as the top 24 in the state for 1A OAP. As their director, I am so proud of their work this season. They worked together to overcome so many obstacles, and these kids are involved in so many things, and they continue to drive and show up. We placed fourth at region, and the following student students received medals for their work:
All Star Tech- Karessa Walker (Sound Design/Op.
Hon. Mention All-Star Cast- Preacher(Austin Peralta)
All-Star Cast- Lenorah (Taylor Stevens)
Best Performer- Lauren Relerford
I am so proud of their dedication, to not only one act play, but all of the other extracurricular activities they are involved in. We have exceptional students, artists, creators, athletes, and academic performers.
I would like to thank all of the parents, teachers, administrators, and staff who continue to support us and help us to make panther theater magic! We are looking forward to the future, and more shows and opportunities to showcase are talented students! We are already looking at upcoming shows and a student theater camp for the summer!
