The CCS monologue competition was a lovely evening event where our Theater students were able to present monologues they had been working on all semester. A challenging panel of adjudicators–Caroline Kraehe, Arts Director from Cary Christian School, and our own Joshua Leland and Andrew Morton–graded the students on their efforts.
There were 3 prizes awarded:
First Place Dramatic Monologue: Kirby Thigpen performing Anthony’s Funeral Oration from Julius Caesar (Audacia 5pts)
First Place Comedic Monologue: Erin Davis performing Julia’s monologue from Mugged in Metropolis (Sapientia 5pts)
Audience Choice Award: Bryson Rose performing Ferris Bueller’s monologue from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (Audacia 5pts)
After the performance, everyone gathered for a reception of delicious homemade desserts and hot chocolate.
