DAC Students Dreams of State Come True

This past weekend our students traveled to Rainsville, Alabama, to compete in the Trumbauer District Competition. They took with them the sets they built, the costumes they designed and produced, and all the hopes that their hard work would advance them to Trumbauer State Competition. Our students competed in Individual Events and in a Group Event of The One Act. It was a full day of setting up, rehearsing, running from event to event, and performing. They suffered injuries, minor mishaps, fatigue and last minute changes, but they persevered and brought home the hardware to prove that the struggle is worth the accomplishment!

Our talented crew performed “Midsummer Night’s Dream” for their One Act and received Best in Show. This will be the 4th consecutive year that Donoho has taken a One Act to State Competition. We also received Best Costumes, Best Set, and Best Technical Production. Adam Stremmel received Best Supporting Actor. Carter Stremmel received Best Actor. Isabella Patten, Taylor Simmons and Ramsey Whitney were named All Star Cast.

The excitement did not stop with the One Act. Our Individual Event entries were a Falcon Sweep for State qualification. The following is a list of all the qualifiers for Trumbauer State Competition in Troy, Alabama, on December 5-7.
