Murphy Students Shine at State Theatre Competition

Murphy High School was well represented at our state theatre competition this past weekend. Over 1800 students competed all hoping to place in the top 3 of their respective categories. Our students had amazing scores and hopefully had as much fun as I think they did. We toured Troy’s campus, partook in theatre workshops with professionals, watched several shows to scope out next year’s competition, and performed in several categories over the two day festival.
