Rutherford All-County Theatre Showcase
Rutherford County Schools held an event Thursday, November 2nd, called The Rutherford All-County Theater Showcase. The event had students from schools all around Rutherford County perform in a show. The show was held at Stewarts Creek High.
The only student who made it from Blackman High was Sarah Oppmann. Oppmann was the first person to perform, singing “Safer” from the musical First Date and acting out a monologue from the play Nuts.
“We auditioned for it on Wednesday,” Oppmann stated. “We had to prepare a song and a monologue, and we had three minutes exactly to preform it. After that we got to miss school and do workshops all day, and they told us who made the cut for the performance. We had one rehearsal then we did the show.”
After Oppmann, sixteen other students from schools all around the county performed monologues and songs. Then, students from Stewarts Creek High performed in Selkie. The overall show had a mixture of comedy and tragedy.
This show was part of a series called the Fine Arts Honors Series. This is a four part series that includes a Choral Festival (January 30th), a Band Concert (February 23rd), and an Art Showcase (March 15th).
