Congratulations to Alice Nelson, Sarah Pennypacker, Madison Wilson, and Cecy Sweeney. The one-act plays by Alice, Sarah, and Madison were selected for special recognition at the Vermont Young Playwrights' Festival in Burlington on May 17th. Cecy's play has been chosen as an alternate. The creative writing classes will be attending performances and workshops on that day to celebrate all of their work writing plays this semester. Many of the students' plays will be performed by SJA's acting classes in the coming weeks.
