HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 411 Commending the Broadway High School one-act team.

 

Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 5, 2014 Agreed to by the Senate, March 7, 2014

 

WHEREAS, the Broadway High School one-act team won the Virginia High School League Group AAA one-act play competition at the State Theatre Festival on December 3, 2013; and

WHEREAS, admired for their lighthearted, comedic performances, the Broadway High School one-act team showed versatility and skill by choosing to perform a drama in the state competition; and

WHEREAS, the Broadway High School one-act team performed Booby Trap, an emotional piece focusing on a soldier trapped by a landmine, who experiences flashbacks of his past and visions of the future; and

WHEREAS, the Broadway High School one-act team put on a mature, authentic performance to win the championship; while the piece normally concludes with the sound of an explosion, the team creatively and hauntingly ended the play with cast members singing on a darkened stage; and

WHEREAS, the Broadway High School one-act team now proudly holds the honor of winning the school’s first VHSL title for any academic competition or sporting event; and

WHEREAS, each member of the Broadway High School one-act team—Noah Miller, Emily Veramessa, Alec MacDonald, Anika Darcus, Blake Whetzel, Andrea Veramessa, Madeleine Witmer, Sarah Dean, Ashley McHenry, Megan Britsch, and Libby Diaz—contributed wholeheartedly to the victory; and

WHEREAS, the victory is a testament to the versatility and commitment of the actors and crew members, the visionary leadership of first-time director Amy Johnson, and the enthusiastic support of the entire Broadway High School community; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the General Assembly hereby commend the Broadway High School one-act team on winning the 2013 Virginia High School League Group AAA one-act play competition at the State Theatre Festival; and, be it

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to Amy Johnson, director of the Broadway High School one-act team, as an expression of the General Assembly’s admiration for the team’s talent and hard work.
