On Tuesday, March 8, the Middle School cast of "Hamlet" showcased their talents at the Folger Shakespeare Library's 2016 Secondary School Shakespeare Festival. The festival began on February 29 and runs through March 11 with more than 30 schools participating. Each day of the festival, four to five schools perform for 25 minutes each. After each performance, each school group receives critiques from festival judges, participates in group activities with the other schools, and wins awards in recognition of their work. Skye Worster '20, Brielle Herlein '21, and Josephine Stark '21 all received awards in recognition of their performances.
Originally performed in Holton's Diana Coulton Beebe Black Box Theater this past fall, it was a wonderful opportunity for our Middle School students to resurrect their parts and "wow" the many other schools in attendance! Congratulations, girls!
