One Act play is a UIL competition event where students perform a play in front of judges to compete against other schools. This year, Brenda Ochoa is the coach for this event.
“I want to acknowledge the culture enriches and all of the ultimate grand things that there is to learn about the arts,” Ochoa said. “It’s exciting, honorable, and it’s exhilarating. It is a historic moment for our campus.”
This is the first year Jimmy Carter is taking on One Act Play as a UIL event. Students say they are excited about the production and can’t wait to see how it goes.
“I expect it to be really fun,” Mariana Alanis, a junior, said. “It’s about time.”
Last week, auditions were held for the roles in the play, Do not go gentle. Carolina Amador, a junior who auditioned for the role of Kelly, says even though she has no previous experience in theater, it is an honor to participate this year.
“If I get the part I went for, then hopefully, I get to compete in March,” Amador said. “I’m very excited to be able to participate,”
One Act Play also consists of many other parts: makeup, tech, sound, and lights. Deandra Soto didn’t audition for a role; however, she says she is excited to be part of the crew.
“There’s a space for everybody so they can find something that suits them,” Soto said. “It’s a chance to experience things like the normal comprehensive high schools we don’t have here, so it’s like a little window of freedom.”
Jimmy Carter Students say this production will allow them to express themselves and have fun.
“It’s a way to bond,” Alanis said.
