PRESS RELEASE:
Eighteen high school students from traditional and private schools in Caldwell, Burke, Catawba and Wilkes Counties are preparing for the 4th Annual High School Shakespeare Monologue Competition sponsored by the Caldwell Arts Council, in conjunction with Caldwell County Schools.
Recitation is an exciting way for students to increase their appreciation for language and to demonstrate their mastery of public speaking.
This year’s competitors are expected to memorize and recite a monologue from any of Shakespeare’s plays. Cash prizes totaling over $1,000 will be awarded to the top finishers.
The public is invited to watch these talented students at the J.E. Broyhill Civic Center in Lenoir on Saturday, April 9, 2016, starting at 8:30 a.m.
