Two Local High Schoolers Awarded Sparkles

(C) Dennis Sparks Reviews

A huge congratulations to both Sky Ring and Sarah Russell for their Sparkle Awards for Outstanding Performance in a Supporting Role, Non-Musical from Dennis Sparks. 

Sky Ring for her performance as Dogberry in MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, and Sarah Russell for her turn as Mayella in TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. 

I agree with Dennis Sparks' choice and their drama teacher's (Battle Ground Drama Club's instructor Stephen "Cash" Henry) comments who said, "Both immensely deserved, and I am ridiculously proud of both of them."

According to Henery they were the only two high school students awarded a Sparkle Award of any kind this year [though I felt Ashlee Waldbauer for Robin Hood is deserving as well] and some of the other winners worked with companies like: The Oregon Shakespeare Festival, NW Classical Theater, Beaverton Civic Theater, Portland Actors Conservatory, Portland Center Stage, Artists Repertory Theatre, Post 5 Theater, Profile Theater, Oregon Children's Theater, NW Children's Theater and Triangle Productions. 

WAY TO GO SARAH AND SKY!
