The Fergus Falls Senior High theatre group took first place in the Winter One Act Sub-Sections Competition.
The students were judged on: Educational Value, Overall Effectiveness, Characterization, Voice, and Technical Elements, and are scored accordingly.
Fergus Falls students performed the one act play, “The Winner,” by B. Dwayne Craft and directed by Michelle Karst.
In this play: The Competitor sits listless while every imaginable influence in his life
cajoles, begs, pressures, and coaxes him to prepare for the upcoming competition. Everyone insists that he win The Prize, from his family to his Beloved, to his Optometrist. This expressionistic one-act vivisects and reassembles the many pressures of achievement placed on the individual, all leading to the inescapable conclusion that winning just might be everything…or nothing at all.
The cast and crew include the following Otters: Aaron Johnson, Ryan Sorkness, Lexi Wedll, Morgan Fylling, Lucille Krivanek, Steven Godel, Ben Haugmo, Charli Wolentez, Cassandra Eerdmans, Robbie Darling, Justin Gullickson, Jessica Segura, Erik Vergiels, Olivia Scott, Sarah Bowman, Katelyn Kelley, Austin Sandmeyer, Reid Cole, Taylor Gray; with a lot time and effort from community members. A special thanks goes out to Jerry Ringwelski for set construction, Rebecca Thanel for make up ideas and hair designs, Jordan Fylling’s assistance as stage manager, and Sew Perfect Bridal for the generous donation of a dress and costume alterations.
The students will compete again this Thursday, Feb. 3 at the section finals in Alexandria for a chance to appear in the state one act festival.
