Black Box Theatre | 24-Hour Play Competition, Spring 2023

There were thirteen contestants broken up into three groups. The theme was "Unusual Dreams". The teams arrived at 6:00 PM on Friday, April 21, and were ready to perform their plays by 6 p.m. Saturday, April 22. Every four hours the teams were given something they had to add to their play such as a line, prop, and music. The winning production judged by a panel of five (faculty Ted Hazelgrove and Kate Midday, Alum Bill Daniel, and local theatre directors Jeff Cook and Karen Jorgenson Cook) chose Stuck in the Realm as the winning play!
