Pace High thespians prepare for Florida State Thespian Festival

Community By Raquel Edmundson Special to The Miami Laker Wednesday, January 30, 2019

Members of Monsignor Edward Pace High School’s (PACE) Drama Troupe 5457 competed in the District 8 Thespian Competition in December bringing home several awards and honors. 
Under the direction of Marianne Martinez, the group added 11 new thespians members this year to the competition troupe and they brought home six excellent and ten superior awards. Of those superior awards, they earned one for Large Group performance as well as a perfect score in the Monologue category.
For the tenth year in a row, the group will now proceed to Tampa to compete in the annual Florida State Thespian Festival competition taking place March 20-24.
In preparation for the upcoming competition, the students have been busy rehearsing and raising funds to cover their travel expenses. Last month the group held their annual evening Drama Showcase where they performed competition pieces before an audience of PACE students, faculty, family and friends.
The PACE family wishes this group of talented thespians the best of luck in States as they continue to explore their passion for theatre and create lasting memories.
