Shorter students dominate statewide theatre conference

Shorter College theatre students had an impressive showing at last week¹s Georgia Theatre Conference (GTC).

Two Shorter students, Asha Brownie-Gordon and Doront¹e Evans, were honored at the conference for receiving the highest scores during competition. Both students were given awards to mark their accomplishments.

Doront'e Evans and Asha Brownie-Gordon perform at Shorter College
during the 2008 Martin Luther King, Jr. chapel service.
