For over two months the Chadron High School one act team has been hard at work in preparation for district one act competition in Valentine on Friday December 1^st.  Under the direction of Jill and Uati Paopao, the team will be presenting "Stuart Little" by Joseph Robinette, based on the story by E.B. White.  The cast and crew will be competing against seven other schools, with the winner advancing to state competition in Kearney next week. 

    "Stuart Little" is the delightful children's story of a mouse living with a family of humans in New York City.  Stuart finds himself in many humorous and adventurous situations that only he can find a way out of. 

    One act play competition is a Nebraska School Activities Association event.  The competition requires each school across the state to select any type of play that can not be any longer than 30 minutes and must have at least five characters.  They must then create a set, costumes, makeup, sound, lighting, etc., all of which must be able to travel with them for competition. 

    The cast performed for the schools on Friday November 17^th and held a public presentation on Tuesday November 21^st.  This year's cast and crew are:  Taylor Callahan, Melissa Manternach, Andrea Franklin, Allison Blunt, Heidi Swanke, Mike Overstreet, Clarissa Dickson, Steffan Lehman, Susannah Walgren, Olen King, Ryann Bird, Jordan Broberg, Lauren White, Matt Black, Megan Kizer, Karyssa Stein, Kathleen Gustafson, Scott Young, Alicia Encinas, Mike Adler, Cody Cox, and Brett Schremmer.
