Searching for Her Moments

TA’s newest thespian alum,
Josephine Cooper ’12, hits the stage

As President of the Drama Club, this newest thespian alum leaves TA with impressive experience to her credit, not to mention Summa Cum Laude honors. Josephine
received an award for student direction at the Maine One-Act
Regional Competition and traveled to England to study and perform Shakespeare
with students from a Shakespeare night class. Her crowning performance this year
was as Carlotta in
Phantom of the Opera

When Drama teacher David Hanright awarded the Senior Department Award to
Josephine Cooper ‘12 at Senior Assembly, he quoted from one of her many roles
and predicted that “you will see this bright young talent in the news, in your homes

Josephine’s musical talents
led her to participate in
three choirs, to join seven other Maine students attending
The All-Eastern Music Festival last year, and to participate
all four years as a member of The All-State Music Festival.
