Two Urbandale High School Groups advanced to the State Speech Competition on February 2, 2013, following this past weekend’s District event.
Ensemble Acting
Small groups perform scenes without the use of costumes, sets, or props. The Urbandale group performed a scene from the play Almost, Maine. In the scene, a man meets up with his ex-girlfriend, who is about to get married, but makes a surprising: discovery about himself.
Students participating: Michael Clinkscales plays Jimmy, Morgan Muell is the waitress, and Quinn Sobek, plays Sandrine.

Students participating: Jessica Haarsma - writer, camera operator, editor. Maddie Korver - writer, actor, editor. Michaela Gyure - writer, actor, editor. Derek Kopacek - actor. Josh Lau - actor. Samantha Kidman - actor. Sam Rodriquez - actor.
