ONE-ACT

The York High School One Act Team has been outstanding this year!

The team has gone to four total competitions, and took home first in every event but one. It has taken a lot of teamwork to make the play such a huge success. On Wednesday, November 29, the Team presented a special performance of the play for the YHS and YMS student body.

The performance on Wednesday helped the cast and crew get pumped up for District competition, which will be held in Seward on Friday, November 30. The District performance is a high stakes affair as the winner of District will advance to the State competition next week.

Last year, York came very close to winning Districts and this year they hope to go all the way! At Districts, the Dukes will be competing against Aurora, Central City, Columbus Lakeview, David City, Fillmore Central, Schuyler, and Seward.

This year, York is performing a one-act adaptation of the classic fairytale, “The Princess and the Pea”. The play is about Jean (Cassie Sikes) trying to keep order in the kingdom, while also trying to find a soul mate for her lifelong friend, Prince Pete (Conner Mogul). Will she find one? Who will it be? Can she overcome her love for Pete? You can find that out at the York districts this Friday at Seward!

Good luck Dukes!
