After a dramatic (lockdown!) Region II Individual Events competition, State qualifiers were announced in preparation for the State Competition April 10-12 at Taylorsville High School. Adjudicators were a lot less generous handing out Superiors this year (only 25 pieces from our region received an overall Superior as compared to 77 last year) but lots of good feedback was received. Despite this, Hillcrest still scored very strongly, qualifying an impressive 13 scenes which received Superior ratings. Congratulations to the following pieces which will join the Productions Company's One-Act version of "Pippin" at the State festival:
***Jonathan Morrison-Dramatic Monologue
***Cameron Smith-Contrasting Monologues
***Daniel Lara-Contrasting Monologues
***Chloe Wood-Contrasting Monologues
***Jeffrey Larsen-Contrasting Monologues
***Shanice Holt/Gabriel Spencer/Mackenzi Van Engelenhoven-Scene
***Jessalyn Davis/Averyl Dietering/Briana Shipley-Scene
***Joe Johnson/Karlie McDonald-Scene
***Dalton Parker/Kent Lloyd-Pantomime
***Sarah Marshall/Sarah Walker-Pantomime
***Layton Anderson-Pantomime
***LaDarrell Lawrence-Pantomime
***Addison Rose-Musical Theatre
Thank you to everyone who helped pull off the competition at Hillcrest this year. Special thanks to Jessica Croft and the Theatre Presidency for helping keep everything organized and under control.
Congratulations to all competititors...it was a great festival!

2008 Hillcrest High School
Region Drama Competition Team
PLEASE TAKE NOTE:
The students competing must be aware of the following:
You are to find a costume that will fit your piece. You don’t have to go all out with it, but it should reflect the character you’re playing. Pantomimes MUST be in all black. Musical Theatre MUST NOT wear a costume of any sort. Musical Theatre should dress nicely.
Look closely at the time limit for your category. You should be consistently 15 seconds away from your minimum and maximum times in order to be safe. If there are asterisks (***) by your piece, that means you have issues with the length of your piece that must be addressed.
Make sure you have a polished and professional introduction stating your name, piece and character then go straight into your scene. Pantomimes only say the title of your piece and nothing else. Always end your piece with ‘thank you.’
Any props you may need for your scene must be secured, easily transportable, and ready to go on Thursday. Pantomimes can only use one chair per performer and nothing else. Musical Theatre cannot use any props whatsoever. Musical Theatre must bring their own accompaniment on CD and their own portable boombox.
Alternates should be ready to perform in case of any eventuality.
All names on this list (including alternates) will be excused from school at 8:00am on this Tuesday, March 11 to come and watch the One-Act competition and support our school’s entry (Pippin). If you feel you absolutely cannot miss school that day, please let Mr. Long know ASAP.
