WHS Sophomore Wins 1st in State for Costume Design

Weatherford High sophomore, Caitlin Zellers, was recently awarded first place in state in costume design by the Texas Educator’s Theatre Association.  Zellers displayed three costumes and 10 design boards for the contest at the annual TETA conference in Austin.   

The designs that earned Zellers this honor were for the WHS production of “Little Shop of Horrors” that ran last semester.  The drama department used seven of her 15 designs for the show.   

Nine WHS students attended the conference in Austin, accompanied by WISD drama teachers Catherine O’Bryan and Angela Arthurs.     

The TETA DesignFest allows high school and college students to display their work, as well as gives them a chance to speak with colleges about scholarship opportunities.  The design contest has both high school and college categories, and is the only contest of its kind in the state. 

Currently the WHS drama department is working on a One-Act Play for the UIL competition in March called "Booby Trap."    

Congratulations to Caitlin Zellers and the entire WHS drama department for their hard work in the area of Fine Arts!
