| Six Stevenson Students Chosen For Upcoming All-State Musical! Just like all-state athletes at the high school level represent the state’s most elite in sports, all-state performers and backstage managers are the equivalent for theatre in Illinois…and Stevenson has an amazing six in that category. It was recently announced that Stevenson students Alex Day, Justin Katin, Lily Mace, Lilly Fujioka, Ilex Rosen and Vicka Liokumovich have been selected from a long list of candidates throughout the state of Illinois to perform and work in the “All-State Musical” at January’s Illinois High School Theatre Festival at the University of Illinois. “All-State is a very unique opportunity I’m very grateful for,” Day said. “It’s a chance to meet a bunch of new people from all over Illinois and get to work with people who are as passionate about theater as I am.” This year’s All-State Musical is “Shrek.” Students statewide audition for this highly selective opportunity and then rehearse on weekends throughout the fall semester before performing before a crowd of nearly 4,000 in January in Champaign. Day will play Pinocchio, Katin plays the Big Bad Wolf and Farquaad understudy, Mace is a featured dancer, Fujioka is in the ensemble, Rosen is on the stage management team and Vicka Liokumovich is on the costume team. “I auditioned for “Shrek” because last year I was able to be a part of “Cabaret,” the 2022 IHSTF Musical, and I absolutely had the time of my life growing as a performer and meeting people and making really close friends from all over the state,” Mace said. “We usually rehearse 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday and 9 a.m. to 5 pm. on Monday. It’s a lot of rehearsal but we are all having so much fun and getting so much work done that time flys so quickly!” Students work alongside teachers, professors, and professional theatre artists. The six students that will be representing Stevenson in this year’s All-State cast and crew is the most ever for Stevenson. “I get the opportunity to meet very dedicated people that are interested in theatre from all around the state,” Liokumovich said. “I’ve been an assistant costume designer for every production in Stevenson since last year, and I’m excited for the opportunity to take my knowledge of costuming to the next level. It will be great to see my work on the UIUC stage at Theatre Fest! |
