May 27, 2016
Many people who saw the spring musical, Les Miserables, were very impressed with it, and so was the Spotlight Showcase. They select some of the best theater work from high schools around the state to perform at the Orpheum in a spring showcase. This year the cast of Les Miserables won 14 awards including individual awards.
“I’m excited to perform at the showcase because it is a such a big honor for the SPA theater community,”freshman Sawyer Johnson said. This is a huge honor for the cast of Les Mis and this is the first year they received an Outstanding award. The past two years they have received an Honorable Mention for the musical.
“I think we deserve it. We’ve been working on this show since February,” sophomore Tess Hick said. Hick performed as part of the ensamble cast. The cast will perform on the Orpheum stage on June 13 in Downtown Minneapolis along with 40 other schools.
The full list of awards:
![ECLIPSE. A solar eclipse is a rare event in which the moon is between Earth and the Sun, blocking the view of the sun. In other parts of the United States, the view of the Sun will be totally blocked, constituting whats called a total eclipse. A total eclipse is a completely different event that is another level of coolness. So if they [the students] have that chance, they should absolutely take the chance to see a total eclipse if they ever can. The next one in Minnesota will be the year 2099, Astronomy and Planetary Science teacher Joseph Martin said.](https://www.rubiconline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Drawing-8.sketchpad-600x360.png)
