"All the students competing this year were excellent in artistic skill, understanding and in communication to the audience," said Lee Huddleston, Brentwood High School teacher and organizer. Judges included Jean Hevel, senior English and speech teacher and Town Centre actor; Jean Klein-Kracht, senior Honors and AP English Teacher; and Huddleston, senior AP English Literature Teacher. The winner of the regional competition will advance to the national competition in New York with an all-expense paid weekend to perform for the chance to win a summer in London studying Shakespeare. |
