Theater showcase

Nathaniel Hernandez gets into character as he takes on the role of multiple characters as he performs a scene from "The Empire Striketh Back" -- a humorous take on the Star Wars universe set on a Shakespearian world in a galaxy far, far away.

Destiny Campbell sings an excerpt from "Hairspray" as she practices a scene from the Broadway musical during a theater showcase Thursday evening. Dozens of theater students from Mountain Home High School took the stage at Lloyd Schiller Gymnasium to perform an assortment of comedies, drama, musical theatre and pantomime throughout the evening. The showcase allowed the students to practice before a live audience as they prepared for the District III Drama Competition on Saturday.
