John I. Burton's One Act team, also known as the Dramatic Raiders, performed their production, "After Night Comes the Morn," on Tuesday, October 25 in Burton's auditorium for their peers, and again that night for the community. The team started preparing for this production two weeks into the 2016-2017 school year. Student leadership played a key role in the success of this play; two senior students were selected by Ms. Davis to assist her in directing "After Night Comes the Morn."
Isaac S. and Camryn L. were selected as the assistant directors for this production. Isaac S. said that "it was quite an honor to be pulled in as a second year and just become an assistant director." He went on to say that him and Camryn L. both had their strong suits in different aspects. Camryn worked with the singing and the female actors on costumes, hair, and makeup, while Isaac worked on blocking and staging.
The One Act team will be competing at Coeburn Middle School on Saturday, October 29. The competition will begin at 9:00 A.M. but the Dramatic Raiders will not be preforming until approximately 2:30 P.M. that afternoon. Come out and support the John I. Burton's One Act team as they compete. Congratulations on to the Dramatic Raiders on their public performances on Tuesday and good luck to them Saturday at the competition!
