For November\u2019s Best of All Moment<\/strong>, we are excited to highlight Jordan Moore and her amazing work in our Drama Troupe program! Jordan is now in her fourth year with Drama Troupe and has truly emerged as a leader. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nancy Houseman, one of our Drama Troupe leads, said, \u201cJordan has become a leader and has stepped up this year. She has been helping the newer actors with lines and knowing where to be when on stage.\u201d<\/em> You can even see the other actors and actresses look to her if they\u2019re unsure of what to do! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jordan\u2019s leadership shines through in many ways. Before the dress rehearsal on Tuesday, she took the time to wish her fellow actors and actresses good luck and encouraged them to \u201cbreak a leg.\u201d She also leads by example, staying focused and working hard during rehearsals. Whether she\u2019s learning her lines or finding ways to fully embrace her character, Jordan\u2019s dedication doesn\u2019t go unnoticed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, Jordan has truly stepped into the spotlight, playing Mack in Teen Beach Movie<\/em>. \u201cShe is really lighting it up. It\u2019s been amazing to watch her progress into a professional actress,\u201d<\/em> added Aaron \u201cBig Guy\u201d Houseman, our other Drama Troupe lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are so proud of the work Jordan has accomplished this year and can\u2019t wait to see her continue to shine with the Drama Troupe program! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

best of all (noun) \\best of all\\<\/strong>

is continual, measurable, celebrated and it never ends. It is a daily challenge to do a little better than you did the day before and it\u2019s always celebrated. Possible manifestations: standing just one second longer, reading just one more word, learning just one new number, taking just one more step, never a competition, never completed.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
