It’s that time of the year again in which four Marfa High School students, chosen by a jury of Marfa Live Arts judges, will see their plays come to life with the help of local thespians at the Crowley Theater on Wednesday, February 21st at 7pm.

The 13th Annual One Act Plays features the Marfa High School grand prize-winning short plays:

Borderland Love - by senior Luis Solis

Tlanic in Metztlahuillic, Under the Moonlight - by junior Francisco Rosas;=

Squirt - by sophomore Ava Flores

Possibilities - by freshman Vanessa Díaz

Honorable mention awards were presented to:

​

Beneath the Surface by Jack Marquez
Losing It by Diego Jurado

21 st Century Showdown by Piper Donaldson

Tell Me That You Love Me by Amaya Gomez 

What’s Best for Him by Mateo Meza

The plays were written this year under the tutelage of award-winning playwright Jasminne Mendez in conjunction with Marfa Live Arts and Marfa High School. Mendez shared her reflections on the course, “I had a wonderful time getting to know the Marfa High students and their work. I really appreciated that they were willing to do things out of their comfort zone like play theatre games and share their ideas with me and others. I loved the creativity and originality of some of their plays and only wish we had more time together to help them further develop their ideas. I think there are some exceptional writers in this group, and I do hope they continue to tell their stories and find ways to express themselves."
