Alright, so our One-Act Play advanced from Area last night as the top pick, and I was named best actor at the competition! We actually garnished both best actress and best actor, which is quite unheard of at the Area level. I got best actor when we advanced from district, but that's against schools that were 'so-so' in quality. We're doing a play called "The Cripple of Inishmaan" by Martin Mcdonagh. It's based in Ireland so we all speak with an Irish dialect (big points for a 2A school to be able to pull off). I play Johnnypateenmike, the elderly town gossip, and the critique judge told me to really let loose on the next performance (Johnny's an incredibly hair-trigger character, bouncing between joy and anger extremely quickly). If we make it past regionals, we'll be going to state, so I'm really very excited about this.
