In Frisco ISD, what started with 12 high school programs proudly showcasing their talent is now down to three programs that have been invited to advance to the Area One-Act Play Contest — Lebanon Trail and Wakeland in 5A, and Panther Creek in 4A.

During the contest, each company has seven minutes to set up before performing in front of a panel of adjudicators and a live audience. At the end of their performance, each company has seven minutes to strike their scenic elements. At the conclusion of the event, awards are announced and a judge gives an oral critique with positive and constructive feedback to each of the schools. 

So far, the competition season has involved several rounds including Zone, District and Bi-District. If the companies perform well at Area 4A and 5A contests April 11-12, they will be invited to the Region competitions April 24 and possibly the State competitions in May.

At each level of competition, a judge awards individual acting awards as well as selects productions to advance to the next level of competition. Congratulations to these programs and performers advancing to the Area One-Act Play Contest.
