Thank you to the entire Grisham family who donated $905 of cash and HEB gift 
cards as well as Bush’s Chicken meal vouchers to families in need.  That is 3 
to 4 times the amount normally collected at shows.  Thank you for your giving 
spirit during the holiday season.  You are making a difference for families 
who need our help.  Thank you!

And congratulations to Grisham Theatre students who earned the highest rating 
at contest, a Superior.  Grisham is the only school who earned a Superior at 
this competition both last year and this year.  And Grisham Theatre took all 
of the top individual District awards as well!

It should be noted that the critic judge, Dr. McKelvey, stated that not only 
could Grisham Theatre compete with any middle school, but that they could 
also compete with any high school production.  This is high praise from one 
of the top theatre and musical directors in the state who judges high school 
UIL one act play.

Dr. McKelvey also invited Kylie Shannon to audition for the Zilker Park 
musical, Annie, this summer, which he is directing.

This is the first time that a critic judge has ever awarded both Best Actor 
and Best Actress to one school!

her performance of the Shakespearean Scholar.
