Wetumpka High student wins technical theater scholarship

Cliff Williams / TPI Wetumpka High School senior Atlas Barr inspects her clock she built for a prop and is part of a portfolio of her work. She made the clockface rotate via remote control .

No permanent stage and no scene shop are a problem for Wetumpka High School’s Atlas Barr.

Despite the challenges of a workspace that is constantly moving, Barr created a theater prop that not only competed against those with vast workshops, but bested them. She was named the Mary Nell Sloan Endowed Technical Theatre Scholarship winner and won the state championship in prop design at this year’s Alabama Conference of Theatre State Trumbauer Show.
