Framingham High Student Ties For First For Doug Ingalls Scholarship

FRAMINGHAM, MA - A Framingham High School senior was one of three thespians, who tied for first place for the 2016 Doug Ingalls Acting Scholarship.

Kat Lawrence, Keenan Thomas from Brockton High, and Daniel Toomey of Cohasset High tied for first place, over the weekend, in the scholarship competition sponsored by the Massachusetts Educational Theater Guild.

The METG awards scholarships to eligible high school seniors based on talent demonstrated in an acting audition.

Since its inception in 1992, the METG has awarded $77,900 to 129 college-bound students.

The emphasis during the auditions is on presentation and performance. Each applicant must perform two contrasting pieces, not to exceed a total time limit of four minutes. Costumes and props are not permitted.

Winners will perform their pieces at the Massachusetts State Drama Festival in Spring 2016, where they will receive their awards.

Framingham High senior Benny Williams was an honorable mention in the scholarship competition over the weekend.
