Forsan One-Act recently competed in the UIL Bi-District competition. The competition was held on Tuesday, March 22nd in Rankin, joined with a practice in Rankin the day before (March 21). Unfortunately, Forsan did not advance past Bi-District, but tied with Miles for 3rd place, the alternate position. Hannah Hillger and Briana Elliot both received awards for their performance. However, Forsan High School placed 4th in the overall competition; bringing a close to the 2021 One Act Play season.
The cast, crew, and directors all worked tirelessly to advance to this competition and left the awards’ ceremony prideful. ‘The Terezin Promise’ is a play based on true events and inspired by World War II/ The Holocaust.
