Veterans should be celebrated 365 days a year, not just one

Veterans like Midwest City’s own Raymond Harding.

State champions x 9

Choctaw continues to dominate the One Act State Play competition with the sixth state tech crew award and ninth state championship under the direction of Mary Jane Burton.

The tech award is given to the school that scores the highest for set design, make-up and costuming, lighting, sound and load on/off set. Heath Weselak, set construction leader, explained, "Tech is behind the scenes. [We are] everything that happens magically. [We are] the support of the cast. We’re back stage making sure everything is running smooth and making everything as perfect as possible."

The tech crew sets the scene for the play, deciding how the audience will see the actors on stage.

This year the stage turned dark with the production of The Bad Seed by Maxwell Anderson.
