CRMS student wins state Shakespeare Monologue Competition and is headed to NYC

“NEW YORK IS CALLING.” Congratulations to Caelina Eldred-Thielen, who took first place this weekend at the State Shakespeare Monologue Competition at the University of Denver. Caelina competed against 12 other high school students from around the state of Colorado. She presented her CRMS competition-winning Shakespeare comic monologue, portraying Viola from “Twelfth Night,” along with Shakespeare’s Sonnet number 23. Her performance was personal and touching. She performed a stand-out monologue with a genuine and real representation of her character. By winning the state competition, Caelina now receives an all-expenses-paid trip to New York City (April 22 -25) to compete nationally against over 50 other high school students from around the country. The monologue competition is held at the famous Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City. The winner of the national competition receives a summer session to study theatre at Oxford University in England. Congratulations from CRMS and welcome to the Big Apple!
