STREATOR – For the first time ever, a Streator High School Student will be participating in one of the biggest theater festivals in the state. Kim Freeman, Theatre teacher at Streator High School says her student Mackenzie Bruce will be working behind the scene of the All-State Production Shrek, which will be showcased during the fest in January at the University of Illinois. Produced by the Illinois Theatre Association, the Illinois High School Theatre Festival is the largest and oldest non-competitive high school theatre festival in the world. The three-day Festival takes place every year in early January, with rehearsals beginning in August. The Streator High School Board gave their blessing on the trip at a meeting on Tuesday night. Principal Amy Mascal says it’s a big deal for the high school, as they’ve never had any students accepted into the program before.
