THOMPSONVILLE, IL (Holly Kee- Benton Evening News. Please click on link to read the full story. Here is an excerpt) Kim Ward’s directorial debut is in the books. A first-year teacher at Thompsonville schools, Ward and her students staged “Annie, Jr.” last weekend in the small Franklin County town. They performed two nights to crowds that swelled the seating in the auditorium at Community of Christ Church, where the performances took place. “I loved interacting with the kids outside the classroom,” Ward said. “It was fun to pass my love of performing on to another generation.” Ward is no stranger to the stage, having performed in multiple theater and band shows while attending Johnston City schools. But being the director gave her a few challenges.
