ONE-ACT PLAYS

Schools participating in the One-Act Play program are divided into three classes. Class “A” and Class “B” schools initiate competition at the region level. The winners from the region contests advance to the State Festival. The Class “AA” schools automatically qualify for the State Festival.

In 2015-16, Class “A” schools presented plays which were humorous in nature while Class “B” schools presented plays which were serious. Class “AA” schools presented plays without regard to whether the play was humorous or serious in nature.
