The One Act play has become somewhat of a legacy at Alliance High School, with 2 State Championships, and one state runner-up finish in the past 5 years. These One Act achievements have been one of the highlights of many activities at AHS.

Mrs. Green, an English teacher at Alliance High School, is also the director of the One Act play. Mrs. Green has been involved in the One Act at Alliance for nine years and has 13 years of experience; she has also had an extended background in theater before becoming a teacher.

The One Act choice this year is called “The Cards of Fate”, it is a dark comedy, which is portrayed through a game show setting. She chose this because it was timely and relevant. Mrs. Green is directing the One Act solo this year, she said that it will be challenging but she wants to rope in Mrs. Heidi to help with whatever she can do.

Every person that made an effort in the audition was casted, the cast includes make-up, lights , spotlight, and sound. There are 25 people casted, with a lot of people returning. The seniors in the production are Collin Cox, Christa Horn, Mary Weingart, Bethany Baker, Alexis Garret, Betsy Goodell, and Branson Stinnett who is on the lights crew.

Mrs. Green’s expectations for the one act this year is to have fun and to educate the kids on what it takes to have a good production, like teamwork and collaboration.
