One-Act Play Festival at Eleanor Roosevelt High School, Mar 20-22

The One-Act Play Festival has been postponed to April due to weather.

One-Act Play Festival

Location: Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt. In the Drama Room (004).

March 20 – 22, 2018 at 7pm

At Roosevelt every Spring, we hold our One Act Festival, in which we showcase many different One Acts. Each One Act is about 10 to 15 minutes, and they are all student directed (and in some cases, even student written). They are a fun opportunity for students to experiment with the different aspects of putting on a play, and get a closer look at how many things actually go into making a play.
