Today’s throwback post is a salute to One Act Play. Westfield’s one act program began in the late 1970s and has earned numerous region and state championships during its history. For the past seventeen years, Mrs. Kathy Stubbs, Upper School English and drama teacher, has directed our one act play cast and crew. We invite you to join us for their upcoming performance of Las Soldaderas on October 28th and 29th at 7:30 pm in the Recital Hall. Below are pictures of our One Act Play casts from over the years. #throwbackthursday #50yearsofwestfield #honoringourpastandbuildingourfuture #westfieldtraditions

The Drama Department of the Westfield School presents Las Soldaderas , a one-act play by Nelly E. Cuellar-Garcia in the Recital Hall on Monday and Tuesday, October 28 and 29 at 7:30 p.m. The story of the play revolves around the women who chose to fight for land and liberty during the years of the Mexican Revolution in the early days of the twentieth century.
