Dawson Eighth-Grader Wins State Thespian Competition

Congratulations to Dawson eighth-grader Makenna Bear! Makenna received a rating of "Accomplished" for her solo musical performance at the Nevada State Thespian Festival this past weekend. She performed "Pulled" from The Addams Family. Her score qualifies her for the National Individual Showcase at the International Thespian Festival in Lincoln, Nebraska in June.

Every summer, thousands of high school thespians bring their love of all things theatre to the Thespian Festival, a celebration of student achievement in the arts. Organized by the Educational Theatre Association and hosted by the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, the Festival is a one-of-a-kind, weeklong immersion experience in singing, dancing, acting, designing, directing, creating, and writing.
