The 2021 Franklin High School theatre troupe was recently recognized by the Franklin City School Board for placing second at the Virginia High School League Class 1 State Theatre Festival. This state runner-up denouement is the best finish in the history of the school’s program. We commend the troupe for its hard work and celebrate the unprecedented fruit of that labor. Pictured at the school board meeting are, from left, FHS Principal Travis Felts and FHS Theatre Coach/Director Teri Zurfluh with troupe members Serenity Everette, Rha’Zia Dawson, Roshanda Hoskie, Summer Hill, Skylar Bunn, Laney Phillips, Anthony White, Lana Kopacki and Jusdes Turner.
