Wyatt Spivey won State Best Actor, Kelsie Farley won State Best Actress, and Max Hopkins and Andy Watkins won All Star Cast Awards.
“We are incredibly proud of our students,” said Mark Weaver, GMC’s Prep School Fine Arts Director. “They performed the best show of the season at the state competition and brought the audience to their feet. We would like to thank the entire GMC family for supporting our students and the arts.”
The cast successfully defended their 2015 title and now have the distinction of being 3-time state champions in One Act Play- having won in 2013 and 2015.
