Congratulations to the Frisco ISD middle school theatre departments for the impressive performances in the UIL One-Act Play and Theatrical Design Competitions held on Feb. 18, hosted at the Frisco High School campus.
During the competition, each troupe performed and was critiqued on their One-Act Play competition pieces and their respective set design, hair and makeup design, costumes and theatrical marketing designs.
“I am so proud of the wonderful work that is going on in our middle school theatre programs,” said Cade Butler, fine arts coordinator. “All FISD theatre students are presented with amazing opportunities to grow in their craft and excel in story-telling, thanks to the dedication of their talented teachers.”
The District is proud of the theatre program’s accomplishments and commitment to excellence. These students were honored in the One-Act Play Zone competition, prior to the competition at the District level. In addition to their success at UIL competitions, the FISD theatre arts program was recognized for their outstanding efforts by receiving the Texas Thespians Premier Communities for Theatre Education Award.
Cheers to all of FISD theatre students on a great season and a fantastic One-Act Play District competition!
