In accordance with UIL regulations, only students listed in the Official Eligibility Notice may be in the stage and dressing areas. Only eligible students may participate as members of the contest company.
ASU provides the basic unit set.
Dressing rooms will be provided for each school. You may plan to leave personal belongings there during performances – and you should retrieve them immediately after the performance is concluded. Please leave valuables with a parent or sponsor.
Students from ASU’s Department of Visual and Performing Arts will act as hosts for the One-Act Play teams. A university host will be waiting at the loading door of the auditorium when you arrive to unload – and will be able to answer questions, direct unloading of scenery and props, and assist in any other way needed.
