May started off with an evening of laughs when on May 1st the Ben Nelson Memorial Showcase riveted students. The Ben Nelson Memorial showcase is an annual comedy show which aims to raise a one-thousand dollar scholarship for an exemplar student who is passionate for acting as well as technical works. Initially, the show was started in memory of Ben Nelson, a freshman during the school’s opening year, who was tragically killed in a car accident. Nelson was instrumental to the school of Perry’s Theatre program, and is forever remembered through the scholarship. The night included Saturday Night Live style comedy routines from APAC and other thespians who auditioned. The first day of May was a great way to set the tone for the rest of the school year.
