We are incredibly grateful for the recognition received from Governor Ayotte. Kingswood Theater travelled to the State House on Wednesday, June 3rd, and, along with all the other schools that qualified for the NHETG State festival, received a commendation from the Governor celebrating the importance of Theater Education in our schools.

A HUGE thank you to those who arranged this honor: Eileen Gil, Representative Bobbi Boudman, Meagan Rose, Morgan Hughes, Lisa Estey, Executive Council Member Karen Liot-Hill, and of course, Governor Kelly Ayotte.

Caroline Kinzlmaier is in the high school theater program as a rising senior and has been a part of theater for the past 3 years. She has been in 6 shows so far, and has learned new things throughout her time in theater. Theater has also helped her bond with so many people. Caroline wants to be a counselor for children’s summer theater because she believes that getting kids involved in theater will not only give them something fun to do, but will also help them to build communities. She wants to be a part of recreating that same magic that she experienced being on stage for the first time. Outside of theater, Caroline likes spending time with her friends and family, going outside, singing and dancing, or going on last minute adventures to the store, the movies, the woods behind her house, or downtown Wolfeboro.

This young performer is stepping onto the Broadway stage after her experience on the national tour of "The Sound of Music."

"It's like something I never thought, like would happen at this age," Harper said. "I thought I'd at least be 11."
