Students from the Dripping Springs High School theatre program attended the recent Texas Thespian State Festival in Grapevine, where they had the opportunity to participate in educational workshops and competition, and seniors auditioned and interviewed for scholarships.
Six underclassmen qualified to advance to the International level of competition based on earning scores in the perfect range for their performances. Four qualified in the category Monologue Acting: Calvin Green, Owen Racis, Eben Sebastian, and Sierra Trbovich. Sebastian, a freshman, also advanced to the semifinals out of a 2,000-student competition pool and ranked 10th in the state. Taylor Barnett and Kate Nolen qualified in the Solo Musical event.
The summer competition, sponsored by the International Thespians Society, will be held in Nebraska.
