Frankenstein 1930 Tech Crew

December 14, 2021

Thank you to everyone who expressed interest in tech crew for the one-act. We had more people interested in participating on the performance crew than the one-act rules allow us to bring with us, so I had the difficult job of narrowing it down. Please know that I want all of you to be involved in some way, even if you aren’t able to travel with the production, so please join us for set or costume construction. You can find the dates/times we are meeting on the calendar.

Assistant Deck Captain Emily Anderson
Props Captain Kendall Rander
Stage Running Crew Neela Estochen
Lighting Crew Leo Ouradnik
Alex Ireland
Sound Crew Kylie Estochen

Rehearsals will be held either in the Black Box theatre or the Loft stage depending on the day. We will work 3:15-5:30 M-F with possible Saturday rehearsals  if needed. As of right now we are not planning on having in-person rehearsals during winter break. We may have a zoom rehearsal to do a read through and work on character development.

About the Performances and Competition

Our first performance will be in late January. This show will be apart of the MSHSL One Act Play competition. This means that we will compete with other schools in our section for a chance to perform at the State One Act Festival. For more information about MSHSL OAP rules click this link here

2020 District 833 One Act Festival

January 7, 2020
You’re invited to the 2020 District One Act Play Festival for the three high schools in the South Washington County School District at Woodbury High School. East Ridge, Park, and Woodbury will each perform their one act plays that they are taking to the Minnesota State High School League one act competition!  Come out and support District 833!

Tickets are General Admission, $5 each (available at the door only).

The Loft Stage @ East Ridge HS presents an original adaptation of Euripides’ “Medea” by Leah and Mark Jensen | The history is that Medea saved her future husband while destroying her own family. Now, married to Jason, she finds that he has betrayed her love and abandoned their children. In a desperate and powerful act, she kills her own sons.

Woodbury High School Royal Theatre presents “All By Myself” by Robert Scott | A one act comedy; seven years alone on an island after his shipwreck have driven Larry to the edge of sanity, but that’s nothing compared to the shock of discovering he’s not – and never has been – alone!

PHS Theater presents “The Diviners” by Jim Leonard, Jr. | A gifted young man, a conflicted preacher, and the divine destiny that changes their lives forever.

See you at Woodbury HS in the Royal Auditorium on January 17!
