Lindale High School One-Act Play students will be competing at the State One-Act Play Meet for the first time in 10 years.  

“We are thrilled to have gone through this journey with our students,” said Taylor Jarman, Lindale High School theatre director. “They have all worked so hard and it is incredibly difficult to achieve this.”

Lindale OAP earned top play honors at Regionals with the theatre department’s production of ‘Anna Karenina.’ Evan Howell received Best Actor Award and Kyleigh Melvin received Best Actress Award. 

“What an amazing year it has been for our drama students,” said Stan Surratt, Lindale ISD Superintendent. “They have earned top play honors at every level. I am so excited and proud for our One-Act Play students and directors. To advance to the State One-Act Play Meet is truly a special achievement. Our Lindale Eagles continue to amaze us with their brilliance, talents and skills.”

The students are hoping to bring home a State Championship after they compete at the State Meet on April 24 in Round Rock.
