Theater Students Make History

The Westminster high school and middle school thespians have made State history.  The high school students’ one-act play,  “Just Like Us,” was selected to represent all of the schools in Miami-Dade County and went on to be awarded the highest rating of “Superior” in the State competition!  In addition, Westminster won the most state awards ever: five Superiors and six Excellents (see the list below).

The Middle School qualified 12 events for State competition; five received an Excellent rating and seven received a Superior rating. And, for the first time, Westminster students were awarded, not one, but two, “Best In State - Critics Choice” awards! One of these awards went to sixth graders for “Thirty Reasons Not to be in a Play!”

Congratulations to the following students for their hard work and dedication to their craft, and to Theater Director Andre Gordon, Theater Assistant Katy Milian, and Film Adjunct Ralphie Fernandez:
