Three students received honorable mentions for their performance in “The Man Who Came to Dinner” April 1 at the UIL One-Act Play District Competition at Conroe High School: senior Michael Mendoza for his character Sheredon Whiteside, junior Paige Parker for her character Lorraine Sheldon, and junior Emily Weaver for Best Technician.

“I was so excited about my mention,” Parker said. “It was my first award and I’ve worked really hard.”

The cast competed against the five district schools and are proud of their performance.

“I think we did really well,” Mendoza said. “It was the best performance we’ve ever done and we had a lot of fun doing it.”

The play was the last one of the school year, and Mendoza said he is really proud about his mention considering it was his first year to do theatre.

Though the play did not advance, director Cay Billingsley said it was a good learning experience.

“It was really great watching the students learn about the event and really get into the competition and enjoy watching the other plays,” Billingsley said.
