Theatre students continue tradition of All-State participation
Congratulations are in order for two District 230 students selected for the 2024 Illinois Theatre Association’s Illinois High School Theatre Festival All-State performance of She Kills Monsters. More than 200 talented students auditioned or interviewed for She Kills Monsters just 85 were selected for the final production company.
Junior Tiana Mansour of Stagg High School is part of the costume crew and junior Camryn Leibfried of Sandburg High School is in the ensemble and an understudy. Stagg’s Performing Arts Center Director Jacob Fisher will serve as the sound designer as part of the production staff.
Fisher said, “Being selected for the All-State Performance is a great honor and an excellent experience for these students. They are part of a long tradition of District 230 theater students taking part in the IHSTF All-State Performance.”
She Kills Monsters is a drama-comedy play that tells the story of Agnes Evans, an average woman who loses her parents and little sister in a car accident. Having been very distant from her sister while she was alive, Agnes embarks on an adventure to get to know her sister better by playing a Dungeons & Dragons module and discovers things she'd never imagined.
This year’s performance runs in mid-January at the Illinois State University Braden Auditorium. While this is a closed event for participants of the Illinois High School Theatre Festival and no public tickets are available for these performances, there is a benefit performance at Bolingbrook High School December 17th.
The 2024 Illinois High School Theatre Festival), the largest and oldest non-competitive high school theatre festival in the nation, features a select ensemble of the top high school actors, technicians, and musicians from throughout the state of Illinois.
