Honoring Milton High School's state champion theatre program
WHEREAS, The City of Milton relishes any opportunity to highlight the diverse accomplishments of the many
talented students of Milton High School; and
WHEREAS, Milton High School's theatre program has grown from a small program to a state and regional
powerhouse, garnering a slate of awards since 2006; and
WHEREAS, These awards include regional and state championships, state honors, "Best Of" awards and
technical achievement nods for both students and teachers for titles as diverse as "And They Dance
Real Slow in Jackson," "Anatomy of Gray," "The Rimers of Eldritch," "A Piece of My Heart,"
"Arabian Nights," "Emma's Child" and "Eurydice"; and
WHEREAS. In 2010, Milton High became the first public school theatre program in the nation to produce a
Cirque -style show, "Cirque Glosoli," showing its students had amazing athletic and physical
abilities in addition to those needed for convincing acting performances. It has since gone on to
produce "Cirque Zamani," and both shows have garnered their share of acclaim, as well; and
WHEREAS, At the 2011 Georgia State Theatre Conference, Milton won a state championship for "Wiley and
the Hairy Man" and had Crawford Horton named Best Actor, Julia Warren named Best Supporting
Actress, Luke Hughes named All Star Cast and Larry Smith named Best Director; and
WHEREAS, The program also won a 20116 AAAAA region and state championship for "The Diviners" and
had Colton Medlin named region Best Actor, McKenzie Kurtz named region Best Supporting
Actress and state Best Actress and Zach Bailey named region All Star Cast; and
WHEREAS, This was the first state championship win for Milton High's program, and highlights the leadership,
commitment and talent of the programs directors: Sim Jones, Renee Denny and Larry Smith.
Now, therefore, we, the Mayor and City Council of the City of Milton, Georgia, hereby honor Milton High School's
theatre program and ask all residents to observe Dec. 19, 2011 as Milton High School Theatre Program Day in the City
of Milton.
