BOURNE — Superintendent Kerri Anne Quinlan-Zhou is pleased to announce that Bourne Drama received three nominations from the Massachusetts Educational Theater Guild (METG).
On Monday, June 10, students, staff members and family members attended the METG ceremony that took place at Lawrence High School.
Four Bourne Public Schools students, middle school student Brady Russell and high school students Keilah Rauch, Gemma Gray and Kiley Severance were recognized for their participation in the productions.
For the high school’s production of “Beauty and the Beast,” the production crew was nominated in two different categories:
- Nomination for Best Costume Design: Bourne High School “Beauty and the Beast”
- Nomination for Best Hair/Make-up Design: Bourne High School “Beauty and the Beast”
In addition, middle schooler Brady Russell was nominated for Best Performance in a Male Presenting Role for his portrayal of Charlie Bucket in “Willy Wonka Jr.”
“We are so proud of our performers in both schools,” Superintendent Quinlan-Zhou said. “We know how much effort they put into their performances and productions, and they could not be more deserving of these prestigious nominations.”
“It was a really fun experience and it was inspiring to see the performances from other schools that had also been nominated for their work,” said Kiley Severance. “The whole design team was like one big family and to be able to show what we accomplished with our performance by getting recognized with these two nominations made us feel incredibly proud of ourselves and of one another.”
