McAuley Limelighters Take Class B Runner-Up Title!

Hats off to the McAuley Limelighters for being recognized as the Class B Runner-Up in the 2009 Regional One-Act Competition Festival!

Held at South Portland High School on March 7, the troupe presented Alice! A Childish Story Take, a contemporary twist on Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, under the leadership of Drama Director Lynne Erkkinen.

In addition to walking away with the Runner-Up title, the Limelighters received special awards in four separate categories for their stellar work.

Anna Weltin ’09 and Samantha Dedian ’10 received distinction as the Competition’s “All Festival Cast” winners, representing strength in acting among the participants as a whole.  Senior Beth McAllister was recognized as the group’s “Best Supporting Actress,” while Cassandra Donatelli ’09 and Courtney Libby ’10 were celebrated for their attention to artistic detail in set design.  Two choreography awards were also given to the Limelighters — one to seniors Anna Devoe and Macauley Kenney, and the other to junior Staci Clarke.

Congratulations, ladies, on your extraordinary talent and artistry on the stage!
