Theater students have been working furiously to put in effort for theater’s UIL One Act Play tomorrow at Centennial High School.
For sophomore Anagha Konuru, handling the workload of school and UIL has been a challenge, but still manages to give all she can to the competition.
“It was also even more of a set back when I got sick in the middle of UIL, but, I’ve been able to pull myself back, make sure my grades are on top, and also make sure I’m doing my best performance for UIL,” Konuru said.
In the past week, the groups have received some critiques, given theater director Kris Allen new ideas to incorporate into the story.
“That’s what you want, you’ve worked on something for a couple of months now and you kind of get tunnel vision and you know what you are trying to do versus what you think is happening and so you need somebody with outside eyes to come in and say ‘here’s what I see’ and so anything that is not clear to them you just try to go back and fix,” Allen said.
For freshman Dhillan Desia, the feedback from these theater experts gives them more hope in advancing to district.
“Yeah, 100%, I think the people that came and did our clinics definitely helped a lot,” Desai said. “It’s going to help us advance for sure.”
