Congratulations to Matt Cosper’s Acting class which participated in the North Carolina Theatre Conference (NCTC) High School Play Festival on October 28–29. 

The NCTC High School Play Festival program showcases the talent of more than 3,500 students from 100+ schools, in more than 130 productions. The Festival gives schools from all across the state the opportunity to share their talents and celebrate their collective achievements. The program was named one of the “Top High School Theatre Festivals” by Stage Directions Magazine.

Each fall, schools travel to regional Festivals for 2 days of performance and celebration. Select plays from each of the regional Festivals advance to the NCTC State High School Play Festival, which is affectionately known as the “State Football Championships of Theatre.” The top 2 shows at the State Festival go on to a national Festival. 

Mr. Cosper’s group performed its cutting of Sophocles’ Antigone. “They all did a wonderful job and Dominick Charles ’25 won an award for excellence in acting for his portrayal of Haimon,” said Mr. Cosper.
