What is One Act Play Competition?
One Act is a GHSA sanctioned event in which high school theater groups compete against each other. More information about the rules can be found at [|www.GHSA.net].

What are the eligibility requirments?
Eligibility requirements are the same for any GHSA sanctioned sport. Competitors must qualify academically by passing 3 out of 4 courses per semester and be on track for graduation. If a child has attended another high school, in order to compete at a new high school heshe must have had a physical address change and moved into the new school's zoning district.

When is One Act Play Competition?
One Act takes place in the Fall. Typically, the region competition is the last week of October and the state competition is the first week of November. There are no set places the event is held. In the past we have competed at the Springer Opera House, Liberty Theater, Harris County High School, and Jordan High School. It is not held at one of the competing schools theaters so no school has an advantage of location and familiarity with the playing space.

Why do I have to audition?
Just like when playing a sport, everyone has to try-out! Actors are expected to show up for the announced audition and audition for the parts they wish to perform.

What if I get a part?
If you receive a part, you must be eligible under GHSA rules for competition. The director must fill-out paperwork and submit it to GHSA to make sure her performers are eleigible. This process takes about one to two weeks. You and your parents are expected to sign the [|Contract for One Act Play Competition.pdf]. **//If you cannot uphold the contract, let your director know immediately that you have to refuse the part.//**

**//What is the rehearsal schedule?//**
Rehearsals are scheduled for Mondays, Wednesday, Thursdays from 3:45 to 5:15 PM and selected Saturdays from 10 AM--2 PM.
