The Whitefield Academy Dramatic Society earned first place in the GHSA One-Act Play Competition held on Saturday, October 31. Winning the title for the second consecutive year, Whitefield performed a shortened version of the Broadway musical Thoroughly Modern Millie. The competition was hosted by Whitefield and held in the Louise Owens Theater.
In addition to earning first place as a cast, individual Whitefield students earned top spots in the competition. Ruthie Evans won Best Actress for her role as the title character, “Millie,” and Alex Eaton was named to the “All Star Cast.”
Seven schools from around region 4A competed during the day-long event, performing plays in a variety of styles from dramas to comedies and musicals. The other schools which competed were King’s Ridge, Fellowship Christian, Mount Paran, North Cobb, Mount Pisgah, and St. Francis
“It was an honor to host the event this year,” said Kayla Marsh, “Parents from the Whitefield Arts Alliance helped plan most of the event and it was a truly enjoyable day of theater. A big thank you goes to Linda Thomas and all the volunteers who made the day a success. The visitors to Whitefield were very appreciative of the hospitality of the school and the beauty of our campus and facilities.
As the winning school in the region, the Whitefield Dramatic Society will now compete in the State One-Act Competition held on November 14 at Bleckley County High School in Cochran, GA. The full musical will be performed at the Louise Owens Theater on November 20 and 21. Look for the link to purchase tickets on our website soon. Break a leg, WolfPack!
