NMIS students grab 2 gold in Thespians regionals

Northern Marianas International School students once again excelled in the recently concluded Thespians regional competition held on Feb. 7-8, 2015.

Two students won gold medals in this school year’s competition. In Thespians, the top award winners will have the opportunity to compete at the International Thespian Festival in Lincoln, Nebraska. Myka Kassandra R. Villegas and Deirdre Mae P. Rosete won gold medals in Duet Acting. They will join the CNMI team to represent the islands at the prestigious event.
