TCS HIGH SCHOOL WINS ONE ACT PLAY

COMPETITION REGION TITLE!!

By Samantha DePriest

Aslan is on the move to State! Trinity Christian School’s One Act Play “The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe” impressed the judges last week as the cast was crowned as Region Champions for the first time in TCS history. With the addition of Mrs. Lizzie Perez at TCS Theatre Director in 2022, our TCS One Act took third place with their incredible performance of “39 Steps” in GHSA. In 2023, TCS One Act brought home second place with their amazing performance of “The Importance of Being Earnest”. The student performers knew they were headed in the right direction and prayed this year would be their year to win first. Our TCS One Act team competed against eight other schools in our region, all of whom are public at Upson-Lee.

Special congrats to the following creative team for the award of Best Costumes, to our All Star Cast members, Charlotte Osterhage and Brett Rogers, and our THREE Region Best Actresses, Riley Cook, Isabelle Johnson, and MJ Poling. The cast and crew have been working together for the last two months to put the show together. TCS hosted three public performances in preparation for the competition and each one to a sold out crowd. Coming up on Saturday, November 16th our TCS One Act team will have the opportunity to represent TCS at State.

TCS Theatre Director Mrs. Lizzie Perez shares, “The beauty of theatre is that every cast and crew member comes together with a unique personality and character to create a shared experience for that one moment, and we as an audience get to experience it! This cast specifically was intentional that they wanted this show to be a powerful testament to the good news of Christ. Their excellence as storytellers and their hard work in growing as performers provided a beautiful platform that has been impactful to anyone who has seen it. I am so proud to have student artists that are excited to not only work hard, but use their God given talents as worship back to the Lord; and that fact that they are champions? LET'S GO LIONS!!!”

One of the most memorable moments for our students wasn’t necessarily winning first place but rather when students from the competing schools came up to our students to congratulate them on putting such on a wonderful show with excellent quality and said there was just “something about the feeling of the show that they couldn’t put our finger on”. “Holy spirit activate!” 

The One Act Play Championships is set for Saturday, November 16th. Let’s Go Lions!!
