The spotlight shone brightly on WCS students at this year’s Tennessee Theatre Association Festival.

The event, which took place October 24-25 in Smyrna, featured students from Nolensville High performing their show, A Breach in the Darkness. They received a superior ranking for that production.

“I’m so proud of these amazing students.” said NHS Theater Director Laura Parker. “They have consistently worked together as an ensemble to make sure their storytelling was brought to life in a dynamic and entertaining way. Our students produce all of their productions from costumes and lighting to set and stage management. It is a joy to guide them as their director.”

Page High also competed in the festival with their performance of Hold, Please. PHS placed third and received a superior ranking.

“We brought an original play written by senior Camryn Burbach,” said PHS Theater Director Donovan Hughes. “By placing third, we earned the opportunity to represent Tennessee at the Southeastern Theatre Conference in March which is very exciting.”

Ravenwood High also competed with their performance of The Great Gatsby, and two students were named as members of the All Star Cast.

Congratulations to the students listed below who earned group and individual recognition.
