Members of Belmont High School Drama are celebrating the receipt of a $10,000 RISE grant that was announced on Monday. When the current Belmont High School building was proposed, it included an auditorium, but when funding came up short, the auditorium was dropped from the plan. Practices take place in the cafeteria, and performances are in the parking lot or off-campus at the Franklin Opera House or Inter-Lakes High School. Their upcoming performance of “Into the Woods” will take place at the Inter-Lakes High School auditorium. “We thought it would be cool to have NBC recognize them, and it’s a huge way to show what exists at Belmont High School,” Pitrone said.
