On November 15th, UNI held their annual Thespian Festival. It was a two day event, lasting Friday and Saturday where thespians of Iowan schools performed, watched performances and competed in technical challenges.
On Friday, they watched two main stages. Those two plays were “Bob in Five Acts” and “Our Town”. Then, they did their individual events and technical challenges. Boone students competed in individual events such as Improv, Musical Theater, and Monolouge. Other students compete in the technical challenges, where they aimed lights, set up scenes in the dark, and more.
Michael Foley, sophomore, attended both days of ThesFest. Michael’s favorite part was the lunch, because UNI had an all day, all you can eat buffett. He says “I enjoyed the weekend and can’t wait to return next year.”
