Senior one acts are when seniors in the performing arts decide they want to put on a show. This year, all six seniors wrote their own plays. I saw There Are Aliens At Camp Little Pine by Onyx Swanson, Element 119 by Gavin Johnson and Elderly On Board by Sarah Malette. Onyx’s play is about a camp counselor who’s little sister used to go to camp little pine, but something suspicious happens to her and was not allowed to return until one day, when her parents make her then the campers want to know what happens but the counselor quickly shuts them down trying to protect her sister from the events that occurred. Next was Gavin Johnson’s play. His was a romantic comedy about a new element that landed on earth. The townspeople called it the love potion because it would cause people to fall in love. the story is about how an entire town gets infected with this love drug and how two people try to stop the curse. Sarah Malettes’s play Elderly On Board is about a old women who is celebrating her 70th birthday with her friends, she is not happy with this because she wants to sit on her couch and eat chips all day, but when her best friend convinces her to go out she realizes maybe it isn’t so bad to have fun. These acts were super funny and moving, I loved watching the actors perform and cannot wait for next years acts, thank you to all the seniors who put on a show. - Faith Parisi

Last month, I went to the Saturday afternoon Senior One Acts show and the three shows were Pop The Question by Kelsey Verville, Willow’s Creek by Mia Costello, and Songbird by Myles Carter. Kelsey’s act Pop The Question was a comedy skit that showed different couples proposing to their girlfriend. I enjoyed how the act showed how all proposals could go whether it was for the better or for the worse. In Mia Costello’s act Willow Creek, a ghostly mystery unfolded in the main character’s hometown. The overall plot was wonderful and the twist was foreshadowed amazingly. The final act on Saturday was directed by Myles Carter and it was called Songbird. It was about two best friends, one in love with the other but the other friend was getting married. There was one scene when the two best friends were arguing with each other and so were their younger selves. As they traded lines, one side picking up where the other had left off, chills came over my body. Furthermore, the ending just left me wanting a part two. Moreover the show's tech crew did a great job with the lighting ques, sound, and mics. In closing, the acts were spectacular, it really showed that the directors, actors, and crew put a lot of hard work and dedication into making it perfect. - Livy Abrams
