Cast Lists:

I know we say this all the time, but casting this show was not at all easy. We had 72 wonderful students audition for the 58 roles in our 7 plays. Unfortunately we were not able to cast everyone, and we hope that won't discourage anyone who did not get cast from auditioning again next time. A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who auditioned for the 2014 One Act Plays!
