One Act Competition

One of my good friends was recently in an acting competition. You may or may not have ever heard of it but it’s called the “One Act Competition”. Basically what it is a team of High School students that have to not only act in a drama but they are also are responsible for setting up and tearing down the stage. All this must be done in a record amount of time. If I remember right they had to not only set up but also take down the stage in less than 10 minutes. So if it took them 6 minutes to set it up they only had 4 minutes to tear it down. BTW they only needed a little over 3 minutes to setup. (CLICK HERE to watch a video of the team setting up and tearing down as well as some other still captures.)

None-the-less, the team at Appleton North did an awesome job!! (WAY TO GO JACOB)!! They won state again for the 11th consecutive year. They rocked it out!! I am so proud of them … especially my buddy Jacob.

Here are a few pictures from their big send off to state.

Congratulations to The Odyssey One Act Team for earning the CRITIC’S CHOICE Award for overall excellence at the Wisconsin High School Theatre Festival. They also earned an Ensemble Acting award and a Director’s award.

Like I said, Appleton North has received the CRITIC’S CHOICE for the past eleven consecutive years; the only school in the history of the state competition to achieve such a distinction. Way to go team!!
