2024 BE BISHOP AWARD WINNER – ISABELLA CIANCIO
Bella is a freshman at Larkin High School. Her graduating show with CTE was James and the Giant Peach in which she played Ladahlord. This was Bella’s 14th show with CTE/FVTC. In her free time, she enjoys writing, learning Italian, collecting crystals, pop figures, listening to music, and playing with her dog Bernice. She loved playing Eulalie Shinn in Music Man because her character is so goofy and silly, and she got to share it with Bishop.
“Bella puts 120% into every single task she does, and also prefers to do more. Bella will do anything, big or small, to help make a show better. She is kind to everybody, she cares about everyone doing their best, not just herself. Bella is also a bit of a workhorse, (If that doesn’t describe Matt, I don’t know what does!) yet she seems to devote it all to everything she is a part of.”
“I always knew I could count on her to make everyone feel included. She always has a smile, hug, or compliment for anyone who needs it. A natural leader, Bella wants to make sure everyone gets across the finish line and has the heart to see it through.”
