After a leading off the 2017 One-Act Festival with a remarkably clean, polished, memorable and moving performance, the Limelighters came up just short, taking 3rd place at the regional competition. A great team effort and a memorable show, nonetheless. Great individual feats were recognized, however, as both Catherine Cornell (her second in as many years!) and Marie-Monique Kabongo were named to the All-Festival Cast!

Congrats to Catherine and Marie, and the entire cast and crew of The Murder of Lidice!

On a side note, this is the third year in a row that Danielle has been named to the All-Festival Cast - an incredibly rare feat. Congratulations to these three, and to the entire cast of "The Happy Prince"!
