Another district theater festival in the books, and another great award for our favorite actor.
Cora and Jay performed the death scene in Macbeth, when Macduff kills Macbeth after a sword fight. How awesome is that - an actual choreographed sword fight, ending with the head of Macbeth (Cora) flying. They won tons of cheers for their performance Friday, and a third place award in the Small Group Shakespeare category.
Cora doesn't really have photos from the day, and I wasn't there, so I'm taking nearly all of these photos from the theatre's Instagram page.
These actors performed a scene from The Play That Goes Wrong, and yes, things literally went wrong, but the judges loved it and they were awarded 2nd place in the Large Group Contemporary category!
Cora also took part in her school's Large Group Musical entry, and she had a nice length solo in the song.
Most exciting for us, Cora was chosen for a Judge's Choice award, given to the five top performers of the day. Seven schools competed, so there were probably 150-200 actors involved. She was honored alongside two actors from her old high school, Char and Sam (on the right)
We celebrated that night with celebratory boba.
Most of the awards were little trophies, other than the Judges Choice awards; Cora got this little pin.
Here, Cora and Jay are putting their Shakespeare trophy in the theatre lobby trophy case. Congrats!
Cora has even more to celebrate with theatre - she will be portraying Velma Kelly in the school production Chicago in May! We're so excited and proud of her. (This was the birthday card we got for her.)
