In addition to the advancement of the entire play, Chrissy Leady earned All-star crew for special effects lighting, Drew Lewis received Honorable Mention All-Star Cast, Nick Payne and Sara Pearson received All-Star Cast and once again, Aidan Wilt was named Best Actor in the competition.

“Since it’s only my second year in theater, I feel humble and unworthy to be named as Best Actor twice in one season, but it feels good,” said Wilt. “I feel as if any one of my cast mates were just as capable of earning this award.”

Culinary Arts students Maya Reazin, Paula Castillo and Sammy Cantu provided food for all schools that were present. \Chase Miller, Garrett Herring, and Jacob Pugh were among the students who set up the stage and worked the booth; along with students, Carlie Green and Elizabeth Turner that helped with rehearsals on Friday, March 24.
