One-act plays take to competition stage Tuesday
As the old show business saying goes, “Break a leg” as a good luck token for those on the stage. We send those sentiments out to all our high school one acts that will be competing across the area on March 6.

The remainder of county and area schools compete at the North Central Texas College Fine Arts Center in Gainesville also on Tuesday. Saint Jo performs at 9 a.m.; Gold-Burg, 10 a.m.; Prairie Valley, 11 a.m.; Midway, noon; lunch break; Forestburg, 1 p.m.; Slidell, 2 p.m. and Bellevue, 3 p.m.
