The GHS One Act Play troupe presented The Great American Talent Show on Sunday, Jan. 21 at the old HS gym. This play was a comedy, as mandated by this year’s contest rules, and The Great American Talent Show was a parody of television Shows like American Idol, America’s Got Talent or The Voice.
No single cast member was a lead, or traditional main character, as the play was written and directed in such a way that every student actor was given their moment in the spotlight and an opportunity to shine onstage. That said we did have some favorite moments and will showcase them in some of the photos below and on page 3.
Each contestant in the talent show had a particular set of skills, and the play takes place during the final grand prize competition when they have to go all out to win the grand prize under arbitrary conditions.
The One Act Play cast traveled to Canton on Tuesday, Jan. 23 to perform in the regional contest. Competiton in our region is fierce. The students sadly will not advance to the State Contest this year, however the contest judges gave outstading performances to the following actors: Brooklyn Trudeau, Calvin Larson and Elizabeth Roth! Congrats guys!
