By Delaney McLinden '18
Trinity Prep's Thespian Troupe 1780 received 26 nominations from The Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts' Applause Awards for the production of "Into the Woods" and seven nominations for the production of "The Last Five Years." The Applause Awards celebrate excellence in high school musical theater. Our musical theater productions were reviewed by a team of adjudicators."The Last Five Years" was named Best Musical, and the Outstanding Lead Performer awards were given to both Maddie Walker '16, and Tony Moreno '17 for their work in the winning musical. The Outstanding Director award was given to Janine Papin.
In the show "Into the Woods", the Outstanding Lead Performer award went to Tony Moreno '17, and honorable mention in performance went to Demetri Crane '16.
In early June of each year, the Dr. Phillips Center hosts an awards showcase in the Walt Disney Theater to recognize the outstanding achievements of high school musical theater productions and students. The culmination is The Applause Awards show on Sunday, June 5, located at the Dr. Phillips Center. Modeled after the Tony Awards®, the showcase will feature outstanding performances from participating high schools. This event, where our students will perform in front of a live audience and showcase their talent and hard work, will demonstrate the enthusiasm, dedication, and talent of high school musical theater programs and encourage participating schools to grow and continue improving their programs.
Fine arts department chair Janine Papin is excited to see Trinity Prep nominated in so many categories "I am so happy that some of our Trinity Prep talent gets to be showcased at the Dr. Phillips Center, along with other well-deserving local high school students," says Papin. "I think that we have some phenomenal talent here, and I could not be prouder." Congratulations to all the performers!
Tickets for the Applause Awards start at $21.75 and can be purchased by friends and family at here. We hope to see you there, and congratulations to our thespian students!

WEATHERBUG SAFETY SYSTEM
Through the generosity of the Jessie Watlington Memorial Foundation, we have added a new Weatherbug Lightning Safety System to enhance our efforts to improve student safety during inclement weather. We will activate this system on Friday, May 20, and use it in conjunction with our current safety protocols. Students have been briefed on the new system during assemblies this past week.
When lightening is detected within six miles of the campus, the Weatherbug system will trigger a single audible horn that can be heard across campus alerting everyone to move to safe shelter. Three shorter horns will indicate when lightening has cleared the area for 30 minutes.
