The One Act is a class act at Kimball High School

The One Act at Kimball High School progressed very well throughout the year, competing at Western Trails Conference, South Platte Valley Association and district competitions in recent weeks.

The One Act cast this year consists of two seniors, three juniors, two sophomores and one freshman. The play is Albert Hitchcock’s, “The Thirty Nine Steps,”a live radio play.

The main character, Richard Hannay, portrayed by Alexander Flores, is framed for the murder of Ms. Anabela Smith, portrayed by Noah Rabin. It’s a murder he didn’t commit.

Pamela Stewart, characterized by Kiersten Anderson, meets Mr. Hannay unexpectedly in her train compartment. He kisses her to prevent his capture by the police.

As the play progresses, they slowly fall in love, but they do not get married.

WTC awarded four actors and actresses from Kimball as all conference actors that included Kiersten Anderson (Pamela Stewart), Noah Rabin (Anabela Smith and professor), Corey Gardner (announcer), and Maddison Merryfield (newspaper girl and detective).

Judge Tyler Thompson presided over both the WTC and District preformances, and provided constructive criticism for both preformances.

At WTC, Thompson had multiple comments about the acting, props, tech ideas and made his own professional suggestions. He also expressed how impressed he was with the play at the District competition.

Although the One Act preformance was over time by two minutes, the students had a great year together, and are excited for the next year to begin.
