Winners of the $500.00 Fill-the-Gaps scholarship include Ashlyn Adakai of Page, Layton Bauer of Holbrook, Gabriel Espineira of Lakeside, and Jocilyn McCleve of Snowflake. Each of these awardees plans to complete an associate degree at NPC and transfer to a four-year institution to pursue an advance degree. Fill-the-Gaps awardee Cody Meek of Show Low is a student in NPC’s Associate Degree in Nursing program, while Crystal Morrison of Lakeside is in the process of completing her nursing prerequisites. Stephanie Redhorse of Winslow will complete her Associate of Applied Science in Cosmetology and operate her own business in the community. Amandalynn Truax of Fort Apache is a student in NPC’s Early Childhood Education program.

The $500.00 Leg-Up scholarship was awarded to second-year nursing students William Carlyle, who attends the Little Colorado Campus in Winslow, and Meagan Rogers of Taylor who attends the White Mountain Campus in Show Low. Annalise Castellano, a student at Holbrook’s Painted Desert Campus, is pursuing her nursing prerequisites. Cindy Owen of the Silver Creek Campus in Snowflake will graduate from NPC in May 2021 and enter Fresno Pacific University in California in the fall with the goal of a career in Special Education.

William Carlyle was also selected as the very first winner of the Jennifer Lee Witt Memorial Scholarship. A former student of Professor Witt, he wrote movingly in his essay of how her belief in his abilities gave him the confidence to pursue higher education. Carlyle, along with Stephanie Redhorse and Layton Bauer also received the Jon Graff PhD scholarship.

NPC’s Virtual Fall Festival Currently Underway

Posted In: ENTERTAINMENT, Local Events, Technology

NPC’s Virtual Fall Theatre Festival kicks off Nov. 14

Bringing the live theatre experience directly to your favorite digital device, Northland Pioneer College’s (NPC’s) Performing Arts Department is proud to present its first ever “Virtual Fall Theatre Festival.” The festival will run November 14 – 30, 2020 on YouTube and can be accessed at any time during that window.

The exciting, emotionally-varied series consists of five one-act plays featuring NPC’s fall theatre students. “I am proud of what our students have accomplished this semester under less than ideal circumstances given how we have rehearsed in a physically distant manner,” states series director Dr. Mike Solomonson. “Although we are disappointed that we were unable to offer our Fall Dinner Theatre experience, we are extremely thankful for all the support our communities give our students. We’ve blended technology and theatre in a series that demonstrates some real-world scenarios somewhat telling of our times. Expect some great performances and prepare to be entertained, even if it is from afar this time.” Solomonson was assisted by Patrick Day, who is the lighting and technical adviser for the series.

The performances include, Taking Sum Lumps by Ken Preuss, featuring KayBree Raisor and Reece Harris in which a young woman breaks a mirror and is offered options by an agent in charge of dispensing the bad luck. Will she spread the bad luck across seven years or take it all in one lump sum? Virtuous Reality by Alex Wilkie stars Brian Jackson and Claire Padilla. While forced into quarantine by the pandemic, Brian hopes to use the time polishing up his dating skills with ‘Virtuous Reality,’ an online service that offers virtual advice through simulated dating scenarios. But Brian’s dating skills are in need of some serious remediation, and his coach, Lydia, thinks she has an unorthodox but effective solution. The Banishment Room by Jackie Martin features Vera Meier-Bennett, KayBree Raisor and Brian Jackson. Diane is distraught when her career takes an unexpected turn – right into a dead end. Her new office mate offers words of wisdom and a passive – very passive – way to fight back. A Christmas Pickle by Uma Incrocci stars Vera Meier-Bennett and Claire Padilla. A college professor calls a troubled student to her office… just what happened at last night’s drunken party, and could it possibly involve… Santa Claus? In Protocols by Vince Gatton, Reece Harris and Brian Jackson portray two siblings on a video call attempting to manage a crisis.

To access the virtual series visit YouTube and search “Northland Pioneer College, 2020 Fall Play Festival” or go to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp6yzFzViIZqvrQA-Bn1Kyw?view_as=subscriber. Questions can be addressed to Dr. Solomonson, at (928) 536-6217 or email michael.solomonson@npc.edu.
