Three plays, one price, and one extreme snowstorm was all it took to put on Loy Norrix High
School’s first One Act Play Fest. After two months of rehearsals, it was finally the time for the
performances; however, the polar vortex had other ideas. A pipe bursting in the auditorium
caused the play to go from three shows to one, and it was pushed a week back.

The one act play fest are three different plays, Twitch, Twelfth Night and Curtain Call, which
were student directed, with each play being around 30 minutes long. The student directors were
more than happy with the play that they casted and directed.

“I’m really happy with the cast of Twitch’s ability to take all of my notes as well as turning all the
characters into their own and their ability to use the humorous moments to their full potential,”
said senior Rebecca Thompson.

Not only were the directors overjoyed with their cast members, but the cast members were
ecstatic with their peers work ethic.

“My castmates in Twitch are super supportive and funny. I love when Camille Bistrek and I have
our alien argument because we made it even funnier by adding more movement and crazy
lines,” said freshman Hollis Masterson.

Not only do the students adore their cast members, but they love the actual storyline of their
plays.

“My favorite part of my play Curtain Call, even though I'm not in this scene, is when Grams
brings out the gun. It's dramatic but funny at the same time. it's funny because you see this nice
old lady run out with a shotgun in her hand,” said sophomore Mackenzie Sackett.

Thursday, February 7, 2019 was the day that the one-act play fest was premiered to the rest of
the world and even after all the mishaps, the cast ended the night with lots of laughs and smiles.
