The Albany High School 2019 competition one-act play The Fourth Ward was performed in front of a live local audience at the high school auditorium on Sunday, March 3, to prepare for the district competition that took place yesterday.

“I was impressed with the amount of community members who came to support our kids,” co-director Jenny Scott said on Tuesday. “I am very proud of the students and the efforts they have put forth with this play. The performance went well, and I am excited to see how we do at district.”

The District 8-2A contest between Cross Plains, Hawley, Albany, Haskell, Stamford, and Roscoe Collegiate took place in Stamford on Wednesday, March 6.

Results were not available at press time and will be reported next week.
