Student Competes in Annual Shakespeare Contest

Arianna BrunoMars Area sixth-grader Arianna Bruno competed in the preliminary round of the 25th annual Pittsburgh Public Theater Shakespeare Monologue & Scene Contest, held Feb. 11-15.

Bruno took on the role of “Juliet” from Romeo & Juliet as she presented her piece for a panel of judges made up of professional actors and directors. To prepare for the contest, Bruno read the entire play and was asked to select one monologue to perform.

This year’s contest, open to students in Grades 4-12, brought together more than 1,000 performers to offer their interpretation of the works of William Shakespeare. For more information, visit https://ppt.org/ppt_home/engage-learn/sh.
