The Yosemite High School Drama Department competed with 14 other

Lode Drama Festival in Sutter Creek on April 25 and 26.
Jessica Knotts, a senior at YHS, earned a special acting award for
her performance in the play, Canadian Gothic. Jessica was one of
only eight students selected for this award from more than 200 students
who appeared in plays presented for the competition. Jessica is
a four-year drama and International Baccalaureate student who has
appeared in many productions during her years at YHS.
In other competition, Jessica Knotts and Ashley Newton were semi-finalists
in the scene category of the competition; Evelyn Livermore and Lesley
MacDonald also made it to the semi-finals in the scene category.
These scenes were in the top nine from more than 36 scenes presented
to the judges.
Interested persons can see Jessica in her award-winning performance
on May 16 and 17, 7 p.m., when the Yosemite High School Drama Department
will present an evening of one-act plays. These performances are
a fund-raiser for the Drama Department and the suggested donation
is $3.
