The Tupelo Middle School Thespians attended the 2006 festival in Augusta, Georgia where they received superior ratings in several individual events. This is the first time for Tupelo Middle School to host this event, and it is a great opportunity for students with interest in Drama and the Theatre Arts to come together and to learn together.
