ONE-ACT PLAY

Schools participating in the One-Act Play program are divided into three classes. Class “A” and Class “B” schools

initiate competition at the region level. The winners from the region contests advance to the State Festival. The

Class “AA” schools automatically qualify for the State Festival.

In 2013-14, Class “A” schools presented plays which were serious in nature while Class “B” schools presented plays

which were humorous. Class “AA” schools presented plays without regard to whether the play was humorous or

serious in nature.
