We advanced last night in the 2-4a zone one-act play competition at El Dorado High School. Ysleta high school advanced with us with their show "The Lesson" by Eugene Ionesco. Canutillo got knocked out with their show "One flew over the Cuckoo's nest" Their actor who played McMurphy didn't receive any acting award even though he pretty much carried the show. He was easily the best actor. I really liked the cast of Ysleta's show though there show was a little short (24 minutes). Jasmine Cobos received best actress from our show and we took 6 out of the 8 all-star cast acting awards. Sergio Estrada won an honorable mention award for his portrayal of Skelly Manor. Was really proud of our work however we do have alot of things we need to fix before we can move any further. We compete next week (April 1st) at the Chamizal theatre for the district 2-4a championship. We will be watching the second round tonight at El Dorado to see who our opponents will be.

The Rimers of Eldritch OAP 2008-2009

That time has come again. One-act play competition is right around the corner and this year we are looking to reach the regional finals for the fourth time in five years and the state finas for the first time in school history. We have a large cast (15) and each and every one of them is talented. Just finished performing at a worksho at Canutillo high school where we impressed the judge despite missing three of our actors. We still have a lot of work to do but think we can pull off one heck of a show next Monday at el dorado high school. We perform first at 4pm followed by ysleta at 5, mt view at 6 and canutillo at 7pm.
