LONGVIEW, TX – ArtsView Children’s Theatre is proud to celebrate the many awards received by a number of extraordinary teens who recently traveled to Lewisville, Texas, to participate in the 17th annual Texas Non-Profit Theatre Youth Conference. This group performed their production of Ed Monk’s Booby Trap for local audiences in May before taking their show on the road to the conference.
The entire company received the Spirit Award for their positive attitudes during the week and their encouragement of all the other groups attending the conference. Judah Armour of Kilgore, as well as Megan Stevens and Caroline Bump of Longview, received Individual Spirit Awards. Caroline Bump also received a Teacher’s Choice Award for her excellence in participation during the conference workshops. An All-Star Cast Award went to Megan Stevens and Judah Armour for their first-rate performances in Booby Trap.
ArtsView’s Artistic Director, Laura Bowen, who directed the production, said, “TNTYC is one of the most valuable theatrical learning experiences that a young person can have. Our kids forged new relationships and had lots of fun during the conference. More importantly, the group was recognized by other company leaders as being exemplary in their behavior and actions toward others. We are very proud of them all!”
