Eli Testa Selected for 2024 Outstanding Youth of Lone Tree Award

Eli Testa was selected by the Youth Commission to be the 2024 Outstanding Youth of Lone Tree.

A senior at Highlands Ranch High School, Eli demonstrated participation and contribution to a significant community – youth and adults in theatre and performing arts. He created “Future is Bright,” a student-run theater company whose show proceeds are donated to the Denver Actors Fund. Eli has served as primary director and producer for the three years of the show’s existence and has raised nearly $40,000 for Denver area actors’ healthcare costs.  

We are proud to continue to showcase the amazing talent and commitment to community that Lone Tree youth possess. Congratulations, Eli!
