It takes a lot of time and dedication to put a one-act play together, especially when it is in competition against other schools with talented kids. Not only is talent and persistence needed within each actor, but also the guidance and confidence of a good director to put on a great play.
This past Saturday, YME students grades 9-12 and Mrs. Heather Anderson performed their comedic one-act play cleverly titled “13 Ways to Screw Up Your College Interview.”
As its title clearly states, the play is about two college admissions interviewers who need to fill one last vacant spot at a fictionalized university. However, as they begin to interview the “wait listed kids”(which range from an over-the-top dramatic teen, a magician, as well as an obnoxious boy who is always on his phone) hilarious accounts ensue as the interviewers fail to find the ideal student to admit.
YME’s one-act play came in third place behind first place winner Redwood Valley High School and second place winner Russell-Tyler-Ruthton High School. And the light-hearted comedy style in which the YME actors performed, proved to be entertaining and hilarious. With such amazing talent and the direction of a great director, the future of one-act plays looks to to be a great one at YME.
