Last Friday night, The Conservatory celebrated our first in what we hope will be many annual Homecoming Night's! Now, you may be thinking to yourself: "How can a school without a football team have a homecoming?", well, we've got our ways...
The evening started with a great meet and greet where our current students and alumni mixed it up, sharing war-stories from the front-line of their rigorous Conservatory training, sharing stories about their rehearsal projects, and networking for projects current and future that each could be involved in.
And then the real fun started. You see, unlike all those boring high-school and college homecomings where Homecoming was just a popularity contest, at The Conservatory, you have to earn it. Our 9 competitors fought it out through three rounds of Theater games, from Trivia ("Who wants to be Homecoming Royalty"), through Pictionary ("Theatrical Design"), and Charades ("Mime!"). In the end, broken and exhausted, Andre McCarther and Sarah Pullen, both only in their first semester, were crowned King and Queen of the Conservatory.
Congratulations to them both, and thanks everyone for a rousing good time at the ol' NCDA. We hope to see you all at our next party! Opening night of "The Heidi Chronicles" on Friday, October 2.
