The Drama and Dance Department was thrilled to produce the first in-person performance of the 2020-21 school year with the student-directed One-Acts Festival. As a culmination of their work in the Advanced Topics in Theatre class, Upper School Students produce, direct, and, sometimes even star in one-act plays as part of an entirely student-led set of theatrical performances. Working under the theme of Masked/Unmasked, seven student directors selected pieces, ran auditions and rehearsals, and produced a performance that showcased a wide variety of Upper School actors. This year’s One-Acts Festival took place in the PAC for RCDS students, faculty, and staff, and it was livestreamed for the broader community. Congratulations to our student directors, actors, and crew!
