The OAP’s straight-1 finish at Bi-District and advancement to Regional competition caught the attention of one of the local papers. Freshman Nicollette Arabie, who plays July in the play, shows off the front-page coverage. The play, House Full of Letters, will compete in Houston on April 16.

“We were so excited to win,” director Melonie Menefee said. “Only two plays were advancing, and so we knew our chances were slim. But we did it, and did it with perfect scores.”
