One-Act Play 2025

TBA

Directed by Kelli Killmer

Auditions: November 18, 2024
Performances: Tuesday, January 21, 2025

 Fresh off a Starred State Performance last year, we are ready to launch into another exciting One-Act Play season this year! The One-Act is a theatre experience unlike any other due to its shorter length and competitive nature. Students tend to form closer bonds with each other, dive deeper into the material, and strengthen their theatre skills. It also offers an opportunity to watch and discuss other theatre performances, while expanding our own theatre community by meeting students and directors from other schools.

The One-Act Play is our winter production that competes in the MN State High School League's One-Act Play Tournament. There are rules the production must follow such as: the play must be under 35 minutes, the set must be able to travel and must be able to be set-up within a 10-minute time frame, and the cast and crew size must not exceed 20 students total. There are three levels of competition - subsections, sections, and the state tournament. 

While we can't yet announce the title of the show, we can promise that it will be a production you won't want to miss! Heart-warming and based on a true story, this production will be a wonderful experience for students involved, and a memorable show for audiences!

In addition to our regular public performances, we will also be adding a school matinee for 1st & 2nd graders!

A musical perfect for the whole family, Seussical takes us into the world of Dr. Seuss where we revisit beloved characters such as Horton, Gertrude, the Whos of Whoville, and many more! Seussical weaves a story of friendship, loyalty, and love while teaching us the power of being unique, and the importance of fighting for your beliefs.
