The Crookston High School One-Act Play performed in the Minnesota State High School League Sub-Section 30 One Act competition in Ada on Thursday evening, where they took first place out of six teams to advance to the Sections competition in Baudette (Lake of the Woods High School) on Saturday, February 4.
“We’re very happy, we’re one of six plays, and we got first place, and East Grand Forks got second place,” One-Act Play Director Beth Carlson explained. “We will be moving on to Lake of the Woods on Saturday, where we will compete against the two winners of each subsection, where there will be eight shows in total.” The club does not know who their opponents in the competition will be yet, but will learn them after the rest of the subsection competitions finish over the weekend.
With the opportunity to return to the Section competition once again, the club is returning to the High School Auditorium for a few more practices to implement some feedback they received from the competition. “We got some really good comments, I haven’t had a chance to look at all of them yet, but it feels really good. The kids were thrilled, and it’s always nice when you get that reward at the end,” Carlson explained. “We will be rehearsing next week, maybe not for quite as many days, but we will be rehearsing for sure to get ourselves ready.”
