CB East's Patriot Players Drama Club Wins One-Act Play Award At Acting Conference

Central Bucks High School East's Patriot Players drama club participated in the PA Thespian Conference in York recently and were honored for a one-act show they performed at the conference, according to the district.

The student actors were recognized for their production of "I Never Saw Another Butterfly" which won the "Outstanding One-Act" play honor at the conference, the district said.

"I Never Saw Another Butterfly" tells the story of children being held at the Theresienstadt concentration camp in German-controlled Czechoslovakia during the Holocaust.

According to the district, conference adjudicators said the Patriot Players' production was: "Very well-crafted, visually interesting, beautiful- powerful- overwhelming- goes directly to the purpose of Art."

The Patriot Players were chosen to represent Pennsylvania Thespians at the International Thespian Festival in Lincoln, Neb. , June 19 through June 24, 2017, the district said. The Patriot Players will represent both CB East and Pennsylvania on not just a national but international level at the festival, the district said.

Students also met thespians from all over the state and enjoyed multiple productions, workshops, competitions, and social gatherings.
