The Eagle Eye Cast: Bringing Passion and Empowerment to the Stage

The official cast list of Eagle Eye's one-act play production is out, and excitement is building among the talented group of students. According to junior Lily Ledsome, 'I'm excited to grow with everyone and create new long-lasting memories.' The play tells the true story of the Matchgirl strike of 1888 and the poor working conditions seen in America at the time.

With a cast and crew of 20 members, including three technicians and 17 actors, the group is busy rehearsing every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday to prepare for the contest. Senior Ashlynn Blankenship expressed her enthusiasm, saying, 'I am so excited to begin rehearsals because the sooner we start the show, the more prepared we'll be.' The theater department, led by director Kari McKenzie, is committed to bringing this powerful story to life.

The cast's passion and dedication are evident in their discussions about the play. Lily notes, 'I really like this show because of all the women empowerment present.' Ashlynn adds, 'I'm excited because we will be doing a play written by a friend of mine about a period in history that I am very passionate about.'

Eagle Eye's cast is ready to take on the challenge of performing at the UIL One Act Play contest, where they will compete against other schools. According to McKenzie, 'I'm excited on improving my acting and being the best I can be with my part.' The group's hard work and determination will undoubtedly pay off as they bring this important story to life.

Stay tuned for more updates on Eagle Eye's production and their journey to District March 6, where the top three schools will advance to Bi-district. With their talent, passion, and commitment, the Eagle Eye cast is sure to make a lasting impression on the stage.
