The Pro-Life Handbook Wins Regions, Goes to State

Thursday, February 1, 3:40 p.m. -- that's our next showtime. The Montrose cast and crew claimed the Region championship yesterday, winning unanimous first-place rankings from all three judges and earning its sixth straight trip to the State One-Act Festival (general festival info at the South Dakota High School Activities Association Speech website and South Dakota Public Broadcasting).

This play is why I haven't been blogging the legislative session much this month: the play carries the most important messages my cast and I have for South Dakota. It really is blogging on stage. We'd like everyone who can make to come down to Brandon next week and see what we have to say. This is the most important and immediately relevant play the Montrose HS Theater Company and Valley Road Productions have staged, and we're eager to share it with everyone we can.

If you can't make the show in Brandon (or even if you can but would like a preview), you can view the script online at my school website. Read it, see it, review it -- we are glad to participate in the conversation about life in South Dakota.
