One act play takes third at sections

This year’s one act play (The Chronicles of Jane Book Seven) directed by Mrs. Kelly Blake tells the story of Jane’s (Anne Courtemanche) greatest task: The Term Paper. Jane must defeat teacher, time, procrastination, and her brother Stewart (Joey Haaskan) to finish her term paper on time.
The play took first at subsections, moving on to take third at sections. Although several people told her that her play was first place quality, Mrs. Blake said that the first place play was very good and worthy of first. While she’s busy right now with musical, Blake says she will work on the next one act over the summer and states it is probably going to be another ensemble piece.
When asked if it was possible to be in one act with an already busy schedule, Blake stated that while students had been able to be in activities like BPA, it simply was not possible to be in one act and a winter sport. She does say, however, that if students are interested in one act and not busy during the winter it is a great place to get to know people and learn about acting and theater.
Preparation for one act starts with auditions in October or November. Then they practice every weekday except Wednesday from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Two full rehearsals are done in January and to be eligible for competition the play can be no longer than 35 minutes. No food or drink is allowed.
