Kansas high school theatre students learned a variety of skills and techniques at Sterling College’s Theatre Workshop Day on March 7. Approximately 350 high school students from 16 different schools participated in the event that included multiple workshops and a matinee performance of the musical “Chess.”

Attendees were given the opportunity to learn about acting, audition monologues, dance for the stage, forensics, taking head shots, improvisation, musical theatre singing, scenic painting, stage combat and sword fighting, stage lighting, stage makeup and costuming.

On March 4-5, Sterling College hosted the Phi Beta Lambda spring state leadership conference, a competition that gives college students from across the state of Kansas a chance to showcase their knowledge of business practices and skills. All five participants from Sterling College placed either first or second in a range of categories, qualifying them for the national PBL competition.

On Friday and Saturday, March 4-5, students from schools across the state will gather at Sterling College to take part in the Phi Beta Lambda Spring State Leadership Conference. Phi Beta Lambda is the collegiate subdivision of Future Business Leaders of America, and Sterling College has been a member of this organization since 2011.

After a seven-week hiatus from competition, the SC Debate and Forensics Team returned to action at the Gorlok Gala hosted by Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri, and did not disappoint. Sterling College started the second semester by winning the Gala, the largest regular season tournament in the nation.
