Gloucester High School theater students took first place in the Conference 10 One Act Competition and now invite the public to see the play for free at 7 p.m. Friday in the GHS auditorium.

The Gloucester actors head to Mills Godwin High School for the 5A South Regional one act competition on Saturday. There they will compete with seven other schools for an opportunity to advance to the state level.

The cast list includes GHS students Noah Polley, Keanu Sheppard, Julia Shaffer, Madison Monnoyer, River Boulay, Alexandria Wright, Elizabeth Simmons, Nicole Pope, Kaitlyn Chaffin, Evelyn Weldon, Ryan Shackelford, Molly Morgan ...
