I sat down and interviewed Kaitlin Griffin about her experience with One Act Play.

How was the experience? “It was a wonderful experience, and one of the best experiences I’ve had in high school. I loved this One Act season, and it’s one of my favorites beside last year’s. I really enjoy being a senior, the only senior of the group. Having that leadership experience, it was nice experience to learn how to lead and learn how to work.

What would you tell others about One Act Play? “One act is tough work, but it’s also fun work. The dedication to the art is like any dedication to a sport.”

How has being a part of One Act play affected you? “It’s made me a better person, a more organized person. I love the arts more. I’m also able to handle a lot tasks at once and get all of my work for school and one act. It’s been a great personal experience as an artistic one. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.”
