One Acts are plays with only one act, hence the name. They are usually thirty minutes, but can be longer. (However the plays we do at our school are either thirty minutes or shorter.) This differs from regular plays, which can last up to three hours, and have more than one act.

One Acts are for anyone who is considering trying out theater. It's a good place to start for those who are new, and they're fun for people who are more experienced. If you have stage fright-- that's okay! One Acts tend to draw less crowds than the musical and Rock and Roll, so there's less pressure. And if you don't like singing, One Acts have no songs or dances, just acting. It's also less time consuming, so if you have other extra-curriculars, it's easy to make time for.

On November 29th, everyone who wants to audition will meet after school in the Blackbox Theater. (First floor, music hallway.) The directors will each talk about what their One Act is about. You will then be given a paper asking you for you name and other information, as well as a ranked list of the plays you want to be in the most. (1: I love this one! 4: I don't think this one is for me.) After you fill out your sheet, you will grab a portion of a script from the play you want to be in the most, find a group of five, and go out in the hallway to practice the monologue on the script for your audition. Some time after that, groups of five will be called back in to audition. You will audition on the small stage in the blackbox in front of all of the directors, with your friends sitting in the room with you to support you.
