ThesCon went swimmingly for our Thespians!

• Midtown High (Troupe 5074) won first place in BACKStage Challenge overall, also winning first in 3/6 individual events (Costume Quick Change, Light Hang, and Prop Shift).

• Troupe 5074's Quiz Bowl team "We Got Jokes" competed in the finals and won first place! This was Midtown's first year participating in this program.

• The 2026 Georgia EdTA Hall of Fame award was named in Jake Dreiling's honor.

• Marissa Rainey was the recipient of the Dwight Gilstrap Technical Scholarship for $2,000. Georgia ThesCon only gives out 13 scholarships each year.

• Two of our Improv Challenge competitors advanced to the second round (which had the top 7/15 teams), and one advanced to the finals (which had the top 5/15 teams).

CONGRATULATIONS to all of our winners and competitors! 

There is a Drama Club meeting on February 11th in the BBT: Freaky Wednesday! It will be a chance for people who mostly do tech to try their hand at acting—and vice versa—with fun activities. The technical activities (for actors) are light hang, learning to read a run sheet, and practicing timed scene changes. The acting activities (for techies) will involve learning some choreo and improv skills.
