State Theatre UW-Greenbay Nov. 16-18th 2023    https://www.wisdaa.org/state-theatre/

Holmen Theatre will be participating in the One Act competition season this fall.  We strive to stand out at state with our show, our tech, and our crew.  We also have several students participating in the Thespy competition this season and are excited to experience all it has to offer! The Thespy Competition is an additional opportunity for individuals, duets, or small groups (3-16 students) in acting, musical theatre, musical theatre dance, and technical design portfolio events. To give students an opportunity to practice and get feedback, we are holding an open, online-only Thespy contest in mid-October (video due 10/17, adjudication Oct. 19-21); and the State-level contest both virtually and in-person at the State Theatre Festival at UW-Green Bay, on Friday, Nov. 17, 2023. 

The WISDAA organization welcomes middle and high schools to be among the 1,800 high school students who gather each year for the Wisconsin Interscholastic Theatre Festival (#witf) — held since 1930 — for three days packed with workshops featuring trained professionals, one-act and individual event contest performances, showcase productions, and exhibitors from theatre vendors to collegiate programs. 







                                    Join High School Forensics! 

Get involved today!  See Mrs. Roswall at the high school if interested.   Interscholastic academic/performing arts sports, such as One-Act Theatre, Speech, Debate, and Film, are stepping stones to success. Speech and performance are lifelong skills that are fostered through local and state contests of the WISDAA.   Forensics is a team that allows flexibility with other activities, where students can make friends, challenge themselves, and build their confidence.  Holmen Forensics stands out as a team that is dedicated and recognized for its overall accomplishments in our district. We have a wonderful coaching team that drives our success. We compete in local events with the end goal of attending the State speech competition in mid-April, held on the UW Madison Campus.
