Say Hello to the ACMA Playwriting Festival
Three years ago a junior and two sophomores brought back the ACMA One Act festival. These were short plays written, directed, and performed by ACMA students. At the time it had been years since the school had had this opportunity. After their growing success over the past three years the ACMA Theatre Company, along with the Playwriting class are putting on not one, but four shows throughout the semester. These shows will give opportunities to middle schoolers and high schoolers and be an exciting way for students to explore all sides of the theatre process.

This first show is called the ACMA Zone. Nine short plays based off of the Twilight Zone. These plays will be performed on the Main Stage on November 21, 22, and 23 at 7:00pm. The cast is entirely made up of Theatre 1 students and directed by Seniors and Juniors.
