The Garretson High School one-act play, Whispers, performed at Regional competition last week Wednesday in Madison. They competed against five other schools, including Madison, Flandreau, Tri Valley, Baltic, and Dell Rapids. They placed fourth in the region and brought home three outstanding actor awards. First place went to Madison, second to Flandreau, and third to Dell Rapids.
This year, Garretson was required to perform a serious/dramatic one-act, which can be difficult for students.
“I am very proud of the one-act's progress this year! The students did a great job bringing the show from script to stage. They tackled the topic of 'losing a parent in combat' with respect and grace,” said director Erika Brown.
While they didn’t make it to State this year, they did bring home three outstanding actor awards for Amber Hulscher, Molly Hulscher, and Morgan Moritz.
“We will continue to grow and look forward to our competition again next year,” said Brown.
