Background: In March, Anderson competed at the Zone competition where junior Blake Robbins won best actor and senior Hanna Tyson won best actress. Anderson and Bowie high schools competed at the district’s one act play competition, where they became co-district champions. In April, both schools competed at the area meet, where Anderson advanced to regionals with its performance “Moon Over Buffalo” and Tyson earned the best actress award. Anderson later performed at regionals at Baylor University, where it earned one of two spots in the state competition.

Tickets are $10 for students with a valid ID and $12 for adults.
