Thespian Troupe 717 attends State Festival
Fayetteville High School Thespian Troupe 717 attended the State Festival held in Jonesboro, Arkansas from February 9th-11th. At this festival, students were adjudicated in solo performance, technical elements, short film, group scenes and musicals. The troupe also took a One Act piece titled “Vanities” to be adjudicated and received the highest rating of Superior. The Arkansas Thespian Festival offers several workshops to our students to strengthen their artistic crafts in dance, acting, technical, college/audition prep, and several others lead by talented presenters from across the United States who specializes in the theater arts. This year’s festival was represented by 45 schools across the state with over 1,000 students. It was the largest thespian festival in Arkansas to date. This year, our troupe president Lucy Rossi was selected to 1 of 6 State Officers to run the event. This is a very high honor to be selected as a state leader. We are thrilled to announce that our Vice President, Thomas Baker, was selected to be a State Officer for next year’s festival!
The Arkansas Thespian Society was offered over one million dollars in scholarships this year from colleges around the nation. Fayetteville Troupe President, Lucy Rossi, was awarded the Honor Thespian of the Year Scholarship out of all of the troupes! Several other members of our troupe were given scholarships based on their performances to schools all over the United States.
At the end of the festival, 6 of the events are showcased on the main stage for the entire troupes to demonstrate to the students the highest quality of performance. Of the 45 troupes in attendance, Fayetteville showcased 2 of the 6 events! These were Duet Musical (Thomas Baker & Alex Fincher) and Group Musical (Henry Aggus, Thomas Baker, Alex Fincher, Mary Larkin Furlow, Lucy Rossi, Ellison Smith, Caroline Wetsell).
We could not have made this journey if it was not for the Fayetteville Public Education Foundation. We wish to thank them for their support for this educational and life changing weekend!
