GMR Drama Students Compete in MSHSL One-Act Competition

FIRE EXIT by Stacie Lents was the dramatic production chosen by Director Tyler Campbell this year as the GMR entry in the 2016 Minnesota State High School League 1-act competiton. Synopsis of the play: “Everybody at Westfield High School thinks they know what happened the day of the fire. Fire Exit opens in the aftermath, as the community faces what appears to be a prank gone terribly wrong. But as the kids and adults open up about their lives and the bigger picture of the day’s events emerges, the truth proves to be far less simple. Told through a series of poignant and often very funny monologues, Fire Exit is a powerful ensemble piece that proves things, and people, aren’t always as they seem.” The cast placed third with the top two, Roseau and Warroad, advancing to the Sectional competition. Other schools competing included LOW and Kittson County Central Lancaster. Director Campbell was very pleased with the results saying, “We get better and better each year! I am so proud of all the thespians and they represented us so well. Note, Roseau placed first at the Sectiional competition and advanced to State, so we are in very good company in our area!”
