Choctaw’s theatre program has claimed their 15th Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association Class 6A One Act State Championship with a breathtaking one-act performance of The Children’s Hour by Lillian Hellman.

All-State Actors include Anna Dewey, Alyx Sabina and Evelyn Banker.

This year competition was done virtually due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Choctaw’s one-act cutting secured gold in the virtual regional and advanced CHS on to virtual OSSAA State One Act Play competition.

Choctaw’s OSSAA Regional All-Star Actors were Alyx Sabina, Ryleigh Andrews, Anna Dewey and Evie Banker.

“It has been a long and ever-changing journey, but I’m so very proud of the work my students left on that stage. Bravo and Brava to cast and crew,” said director Maryjane Burton.

The new one-act play hardware claimed by CHS expands the theatre program’s prestigious record as the state’s most awarded high school.
