Theatre By Kids, For Kids!
Congratulations 2014 Star Award Winners!
- June 6, 2014
Tonight is an exciting celebration at The 12 Dancing Princesses as we’re happy to present our 2014 STAR Award winners! For over 20 years, Encore Stage & Studio has been awarding STAR Awards to students who have shown extraordinary dedication and ability. Recipients of the award must have participated in at least six Encore Stage & Studio productions: two onstage, two backstage on tech crew, and two in either capacity. Tonight is all about our students who truly make us a “Theatre By Kids, For Kids”!
Check out past STAR Award recipient Olivia Tate’s short testimony: “My proudest moment would probably be getting my STAR award back in 8th grade! I was actually in The Velveteen Rabbit, which was the show they were handing the awards out at that year, and I was the Toy Fairy. I wore this huge wedding dress and I decided to wear it to accept the award before the show started because I didn’t want to change into my costume after I received my award. My costume was, like I said, a huge wedding dress that had 27 buttons and no zipper to be seen. I remember walking up onstage when they called my name and everyone just kind of let out a confused gasp and thought that I had just worn the wedding dress to accept just because. It probably took them awhile before they realized I was in my costume for the show! It turned into a funny story along with my proudest moment here… whoops!” Stay tuned for Olivia Tate’s full blog post.
