ONE-ACT PLAY

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.
