Crossroads College Prep Winter One Acts

This week is the week of the Crossroads College Prep Winter One Acts, a collection of student directed short plays. Many of the students who participate in the One Acts really enjoy them. Eric Wildsmith, a senior who is co-directing one of the one acts this year, says that his favorite one act memory “was the first one and I did, “The Laundromat” by Eric Gregg. It was the perfect acting experience and it got me hooked on theatre.” But the acting experiences are not the only things that people involved with the One Acts enjoy. There are also students who work on the sets, lights, and other technical aspects of theatre. “I was on the stage crew and just being able to hang out with everyone backstage and seeing the fruits of everyone’s labours” was Zane Spencer’s answer to the question of ‘What is your favorite One Act memory?’. Zane is co-directing a one act with Eric. Students who are taking part in the One Acts have been rehearsing for them since December. When asked what he likes about the One Acts director Nick Henke answers “It’s great how they are student driven. And how there is not someone who is safety netting everything...Everyone is doing their best work”. Sammy Longstreth, who is also directing a one act this year, was asked the same question and says how he likes that there is “lots of variation in the different one acts...It can vary on what the director wants”. The One Acts are a great experience for anyone interested in theatre, directing, or the technical aspects of theatre. The One Acts are this week with a free show tonight at 7:00pm, a show on Thursday the 24th at 7:00pm, Saturday at 7:00pm, and Sunday at 2:00pm. I would strongly suggest for people to go see the One Acts because they are going to be great.
