Yosemite High School drama student honored

Yosemite High School junior Korina Gutierrez received a prestigious award at the Mother Lode Drama Festival held in Sutter Creek. She earned the “Outstanding Actress in a Play” award.

This was given for her work as a wacky psychologist in the comedy “Pillow Talk.” Korina was elated with the honor and thanked her fellow cast members for all of their hard work.

Ten YHS students participated in the festival, which included 20 schools from central and northern California.

“Pillow Talk” may be seen during Yosemite High School’s Short Attention Span Festival, when the students will put on 14 plays that are all from five to 15 minutes long.

This event will be in the Yosemite Performing Arts Center on Saturday, May 14, and Sunday, May 15, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5.
