North Babylon Teacher Honored with Excellence Award

North Babylon High School teacher Lisa Drance has been named the winner of the first Broadway Education Alliance Award for Excellence in Innovative Theater Arts Education, presented in collaboration with Theatrical Rights Worldwide and Broadway Inbound. 
This award recognizes educators who demonstrate the remarkable ability to identify opportunities, think creatively and transform ideas into successful programs —they are imaginative, passionate and a driving force behind positive change within their organization — providing students a stage on which to explore their dreams and a platform for building value within their community. 
“We would like to thank you for your devotion to your students and the theater arts,” said the members of the Alliance. “Your industry peers would like to celebrate you and the work you’ve performed within your school and through your longstanding participation in the Roger Rees Awards. Your influence cannot be quantified as the magnitude of your love and passion will forever spread through the lives of the young humans you’ve taught.” 
Drance was presented the award at the Roger Rees Awards Showcase on May 19.
