Drama

The Night of One Acts was held on November 14 and was a great success! Students performed two shows, The Blue Mailbox, and the contest play You Can’t Take It with You for a very appreciative audience. On Saturday, November 23, the company performed You Can’t Take It with You for a panel of state judges in Milwaukee.

The judges were extremely impressed by the professionalism of the production, and presented the team with the following awards at the state level: Outstanding Acting: Ariel Rutten, Lily Cain, Josh Olson; Outstanding Ensemble; and, the highest award possible, Critics Choice

Congratulations, team! Now...on to musical!
