Haley Mudrick ’15, Gabrielle Poisson ’17 and Betsy Zaubler ’17 will receive Governor’s Awards in Arts Education for their creative writing accomplishments. Haley is being honored for her personal essay, “If I Could Write to Truman Capote,” Gabi for her play “Worn Thin,” and Betsy for her play “Thanksgiving Surprise.”
The Governor’s Awards in Arts Education began in 1980 to promote awareness and appreciation of the arts, recognizing the creativity, talent and leadership of the award winners. National and statewide organizations select the students for their exemplary work in creative writing, speech, dance, music, theatre and visual arts. Haley was nominated for the award by the NJ Council of Teachers of English, Betsy and Gabi by the Playwrights Theatre of New Jersey.
The award ceremony will be held at the War Memorial Theatre in Trenton on May 27, 2015, and will include performances by several of the winning artists. Congratulations Haley, Gabi and Betsy!
