Congrats to Emily (stage crew) & Ella (Sandra) on their scholarships!

We are excited to announce that TommyPhoto Scholarships have been awarded to three students in the Taylorville High School Class of 2026. This year, $1,000 scholarships were awarded to Ella Hohenstein, Emily White, and Madelyn Lamb.

Hohenstein will be attending the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, IL, majoring in Agricultural Communications. White is enrolled to study Integrated Media Design at Lincoln Land Community College in Springfield, IL. Lamb will be pursuing a degree in Digital Marketing from Millikin University in Decatur, IL.

TommyPhoto scholarships are awarded annually to honor qualifying candidates with plans for continuing education in the fields of photography, digital arts, digital media, applied arts or fine arts.

TommyPhoto is a group of Taylorville High School students learning the art and skills of photography through classroom and hands on experience, led by April Mateer and Carl Niemann. Students in the organization participate in both classroom and experiential learning as they capture photos of the student body throughout the year including student portraits each Fall, individual and team photos for all student organizations, as well as photography at school events and games throughout the year, up to and including graduation.

CONGRATULATIONS to Ella, Emily and Maddy!

HAPPY WORLD THEATRE DAY!

Theatre isn’t silly, lame, boring, or easy. It cracks you open, teaches you to be vulnerable, to be part of a team, to dig deep individually, to push beyond physical or mental set backs. It gives you confidence, public speaking skills, vocal skills, problem- solving skills, teaches you be friends with all kinds of different people and guess what? You don’t age out of it. You can continue performing, teaching, singing, playing an instrument, acting, as long as your body will allow.

If you are a THS alum, please share in the comments how the skills you learned on our stage or other stages/ in the pit or behind the scenes helped you in real life! You can include photos, memories, etc.

You are celebrated here whether you are a pit musician, pit director, staff, crew, performer, whatever it may be. Come celebrate with us all good things theatre tonight at All Shook Up ❤️
