THEATRE AWARDS:  Hundreds of people gathered in Abilene the second week of June for the 15th Annual Texas Nonprofit Theatres Youth Conference.  Youth actors performed plays and musicals for each other and the local audiences.  The youth attended workshops and classes taught by theatre professionals and college professors during this five-day conference. 

This conference is a sharing of shows from some of the best youth companies in Texas.  Austin was represented by EASY Theatre of Austin and Bastrop was represented by the Bastrop Opera House’s Teen Troupe, both are homeschool theater companies under the direction of Engela Edwards who has been taking homeschool theater companies to the conference since 2001.  Austin performed the Audition by Don Solidis, and Bastrop performed Without Strings by Patrick Rainville Dorn.  Bastrop’s performance was dedicated to Zach Bullock a seventeen-year-old Bastropian who is battling cancer.

The conference is not a play competition, but is intended to help actors grow as performers.  Dr. Victoria Spingler was the commentator for the conference.  She gave insightful comments after each of the performances and chose an All Star Cast.  Rachel Edwards, Ethan Glass, Hunter Archield-Cupit and Kaley Klecka won the All Star Cast Award, the highest acting award given at the conference.  Kaley Klecka won a Teacher’s Pet Award.  Sarah Bullock and Hallie Casey were presented an award for exemplifying the Spirit of the Conference.

Rachel, Leonor, LindaThe final award of the conference was presented with some historical flair.  The Linda Lee Leadership Award has been presented to the youth or adult who exhibited amazing leadership throughout the Texas Nonprofit Theatre's Youth Conference.  Past recipients have included Linda Lee (TNT Executive Director) who the award is named after, Todd Hart (Theatre Arlington), Tammy Clark (Corpus Christi's Crash Test Puppets), Roberta Elliot (New Braunfels' Circle Arts Theatre) and M.A. Sterling (Brazos Valley Troupe).  In each of the of the past four years that this award has been presented, the recipients have all been adults.  History was made Sunday, June 13, 2010 as two young people were named as Lee Leadership Award honorees.  Rachel Edwards, age 14, of Bastrop Opera House and EASY Theatre of Austin, and Leonor Castro, age 12, of Brazos Valley Troupe from Bryan-College Station were the proud recipients of this high honor.
