| Student Documentary on Mummers Named Finalist By Staff posted Oct 7, 2010, 05:09 |
(Radnor, PA) South Philadelphia natives Kerri Dougherty and Gianna Shikitino can’t imagine Philadelphia without the Mummers—not only are the two Cabrini College students lifelong fans, but they have family that march with the Fancy Brigades and the Comics, respectively. So when the students heard how City budget cuts have threatened the Mummers Parade, they took action. Along with classmate and Upper Darby native Joe Cahill, Dougherty and Shikitino produced a 25-minute audio documentary, “Behind the Strut: A Look inside the World of the Philadelphia Mummers,” which has been named a finalist in the Best Feature category of the 2010 College Broadcasters, Inc. National Student Production Awards.
