This is the 2011 Florida State Thespians Critic's Choice Award Winner for Ensemble Acting. It is a scene from Milan Stitt's 'The Runner Stumbles'. The performers are all juniors from the multi-award winning, nationally recognized Theatre Department at West Orange HS in Winter Garden, Florida, where they are under the direction of Mr. Ken Rush. These students, proudly representing Troupe 1983, also won the Critic's Choice Award at the District 5 Festival. They are Alex Quinn (Sister Rita), Lisa Pedraza (Mrs. Shandig), and Jacob Waldron (Father Rivard).
Due to the proximity of the judges, it was more of a slap than a stage slap. The actors tried stage slapping- cupping their hands- but it didn't have the impact the piece needed.
