S-E Drama Club receives state Merit Awards
SHERBURNE – Sherburne-Earlville Drama Club received notification that they are recipients of three Theatre Association of New York State (TANYS) Roving Adjudicator Merit Awards following adjudication of their production of “Much Ado About Nothing,” performed on April 29 and 30 at the S-E High School Auditorium.
Emilee Smith will receive a Meritorious Achievement in Acting Award for her role as Beatrice. “Ms. Smith’s well-crafted performance as Beatrice brought the audience much laughter in her witty exchanges with Benedick as well as pathos as she suffered for her cousin Hero’s false accusations,” said TANYS Adjudicator, Spencer Watson.
Also, Meritorious Achievement in Ensemble Acting to Doug Parks as Dogberry and Stephanie Staley as Verges “for their well-executed ‘faux equestrian’ movement and their comic timing during the prisoner interrogation scene.”
Plus, director, Colleen Law-Tefft received an award for Meritorious Achievement in Direction. The adjudicator commented, “for her overall production concept to set the play in 16th century Sicilian Italy and her appropriate use of incidental music and dance to enhance the overall production.”
Formal presentations of the TANYS awards will be held on Saturday, Nov. 19, during the TANYS Festival Awards Banquet in Batavia as part of the 2011 TANYS Festival which runs Friday through Sunday, Nov. 18-20. For further details on the festival or the TANYS organization, go to www.tanys.org.
