At the recent Arizona High School Drama Coach Convention, Maricopa High School drama teacher Cynthia Calhoun was elected to be one of two representatives working with the director for the Central Region of Arizona Thespians, which is a state chapter for the Educational Theatre Association and the International Thespian Society.
Calhoun’s responsibilities will be to coordinate and organize events, including the regional festival, which qualifies high school students for national competition.
Two Maricopa High School students were also elected as Arizona State Thespian Officers: senior Ivie Keene and junior Kjirsten Lemon. These students will work with Calhoun to promote the development of thespians and thespian leaders throughout the state.
“This is a huge jump forward for our theatre program,” Calhoun said.
