High school students from 27 Californian schools participated in the 21st Annual High School Theater Festival hosted by the University of La Verne’s Theater Arts Department on Wednesday and continuing through today.
Senior Kim Reed gazes at the inside of the Dailey Theater's pointed ceiling as if she were stargazing on a clear, crisp night. She is on top of a ship, poised and ready to be welcomed on shore.
As every evening of rehearsal passed, excitement grew. As the curtain call approached, the hours became longer for the nearly 50 people involved in the theatre department's production of the operetta "Naughty Marietta."
