Pine Tree High School Theatre was celebrating at the recent UIL One Act Play ~ 4A Regional competition held on Thursday, April 12, 2007. The One Act Company, performing, The Angelina Project, has earned the opportunity to compete in the State One Act Competition to be held May 3-5, held in the Bass Performance Hall on the UT campus in Austin, Texas.
This is the second year for a company from PTHS directed by Travia Steward, to compete at the state level. “Kentucky Fire in the Hole,” was honored as first in the State of Texas in the 2005 State One-Act Play contest sponsored by the University Interscholastic League.
The Angelina Project is a journey into the darkness and truth of a murder trail. The intense drama is based on actual trial records and portrays an unforgettable journey. Angelina Napolitano, played by Emily Johnson, is a 28 year old Italian mother of four. She kills her husband, played by Sye Estess, with an axe as he lay asleep in their bedroom.
The play revolves around four generations of women who must come to terms with the violence which has shaped them. The play is dark and intense, and has the audience sitting on the edge of their seats; but the ending affirms the ability of families to overcome even the darkest episodes in their history and to reconnect with one another.
On the road to state, the production has achieved the following additional honors:
