Ranatra Fusca Award

Column Structure, Div. III
Upper St. Clair High School
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
The amazing 3-D pop-up scenery and props – complete with a live mermaid swimming under the sea and a theater- sized spinning chime – made for an outstandingly creative and risky performance. The mermaid was a team member suspended by a harness held by two team members – it gave a magical appearance of swimming that was strikingly realistic. The combination of technical and theatrical devices went above and beyond the required elements of the problem and truly enhanced the team’s solution.
