  • Published January 30, 2024

    Dozens of WCS high school theater students are taking center stage and earning Mid-State and All-State designations.

    Hundreds of students across Tennessee traveled to Murfreesboro for Mid-State and All-State auditions January 12-13. Ninth through twelfth-grade students went through a rigorous selection process and were evaluated by university professors before the final distinction lists for acting, musical theater and design/technical were released at the end of January.

    "I'm so proud of my students," said Centennial High theater director Megan Hardgrave. "I get to work with such an incredible group of students every day who support one another and collaborate to make amazing art. They have worked so hard in the past few years to grow as storytellers, artists and technicians. They took the feedback they received last year, applied it and grew immensely, and it showed."
