Cynthia Whitaker and Laren Ross were beaming, says Andrew Wood, at the close of their Academy of Children's Theater performances in Atlanta for the Broadway Jr Theater Festival. The ACT's recent trip to perform in the Broadway Jr program brought the student performers the Best Musical award for their performance of Godspell. The Best Male Actor award went to Casey Bozenski for his performance in Annie.

"There were 1500 people in the audience," said Wood. Said Ansley Hughes," It was a terrific experience. There were young troupes from across the country and Europe in the competition."

ACT packed the house for numerous performances in their recent presentation of Annie at the Performing Arts Center, First United Methodist. See photos on SptFaces.
