It's show time, and UIL season is here! The theater department will be performing The Good Counselor, written by Kathryn Grant, for the One Act Play competition.
The play is about a public defender, Vincent Heffernon, who is forced to defend a woman accused of killing her two-week-old infant.
Auditions were held and the few were called back. The cast will be small, seeing as though you can’t take a 17 man cast to competition. In fact, according to the UIL contest manual, the team may only consist of 15 cast members, 5 crew members and 4 alternates, who perform in case a cast member cannot.
One Act Play is a competitive art in which schools statewide perform. One Act Play teams have 40 minutes or less to stage a pre-approved play. This means that every meticulous detail is crucial when scoring. There’s no doubt that ‘leg-breaking’ will be in this cast’s future.
The Cast
Vincent Heffernon: junior Gebrai Spiller
Ray Heffernon: senior John Martin
Rita Heffernon: senior Daija Wilkes
Evelyn Laverty: sophomore Alanna Ransom
Maia Aruna: junior Tina Kim-Ngyuen
