Spotlight on Fluvanna High School
Drama Teacher

Charlottesville Branch sent three teachers to study in the UK last summer. One (Robert Schuster of Tandem School) went to the University of Edinburgh to study Modernism. Two went to study in London at the Globe Theater. One was Ethan Roberts of Lynchburg Christian School. The other, Craig Edgerton from Fluvanna High School. The spotlight here is on Craig. What has he been up to since returning from his summer program. Allow me to quote our TLAB Chair, Fay Cunningham.

"Our investment at work! Craig (at left wearing the All the World's A Stage shirt) did a fantastic job in conducting a workshop for theater teachers across the state at the VADTF (Virginia Theater Debate Forensics Conference) this past September. His interactive method created an exploratory and enlightening approach on how to tackle Shakespeare and his literary works...very inspiring for all! It was great to witness Craig conveying what he learned as a TLAB recipient at The Globe in such a meaningful way!"

And Craig wasn't through. Fay reports that Craig's School just won First Place on Nov. 2nd in a regional theater festival with their play, Eurydice, with all number one rankings and a score of 100!. Fay went on to say, "In preparation for the next level of competition, they are presenting their play to the public on Thursday, November 14at 7:00, if interested. I'll be there to support him."

Well done Craig Edgerton. Next March, our TLAB recipients will be giving their report to the membership. We will let you know the details in plenty of time. Seeing is believing. Hearing is believing. Our TLABers rock. Our Shakespeare contestants rock.  Cville Branch rocks.
