Theatre isn't about winning prizes. It's about expressing your individuality. It's about making a meaningful connection with other human beings. It's about creating art.
But, boy, it sure does feel good when you do win a prize!
Fairport Harding High School in Fairport Harbor, OH, has plenty to feel good about after the local Rotary Clubs handed out their annual drama awards for Lake County high schools earlier this month. As reported in this article from the News-Herald, the school's production of Too Many Ghosts received a nomination in all eight categories it was eligible for and won four. Now that's impressive, especially when you consider that there are 17 high schools in Lake County!
Alas, Too Many Ghosts didn't win Best Drama/Comedy, losing out to some obscure play titled Peter and the Starcatcher, but it did win the Behind the Scenes Award for their backstage crew work.
Here's the complete list of nominations that the show received:
Male Lead in a Drama/Comedy
Hunter Wilson as folksy handyman Ernie
Female Lead in a Drama/Comedy
Irelyn Swan as level-headed innkeeper Jo
Ava Flerchinger as Jo's horror-loving teenage daughter Lily (Winner!)
James Thellman as fussy 1790's ghost Roland
Fiona Johnston as melancholy 1940's ghost Sophie
Kayden Moser as bombastic 1850's ghost Barney (Winner!)
Nikiyah Clark as cranky 1690's banshee Orla (Winner!)
