The Monarch High School theater program earned several significant accolades.
They competed in the Florida State Thespian Festival, the largest high school drama competition in the U.S., in Tampa from March 19 to 22.
Juliana Zamorano, a junior, was excited to earn a superior, the highest rating possible, during the March Cappies Thespian Festival for her performance of the solo musical “Ladies Who Lunch” from the musical Company.
“I practiced vocal technique and worked on staying in character,” said Zamorano. “I felt good about my performance and the award.”
Theater director Tatiana Ahlbum was proud of the students and believed they all worked hard to earn recognition.
A group of Monarch theater students also earned excellent ratings.
