Copiague Students Place First in Shakespeare Competition
On Friday, March 11th, sixteen student-actors from Walter G. O'Connell Copiague High School, along with their drama teacher, Sylvia Walsh, traveled to Hofstra University to compete against high schools from across Long Island in the 62nd Annual Shakespeare Festival.
The students performed selected cuts from Julius Caesar, Act II, scenes I and II, set in a modern day boardroom, and won the top award for best scene. The actors were praised for their mature acting work, character development and ensemble performance. “Our students not only applied outstanding commitment during the rehearsal process but also displayed professional courtesy at the competition as well,” stated Ms. Walsh. “I am very proud of their theatrical efforts and their well-deserved award!”
