Critics acclaim one-acts Marshall's One-Act Play Festival was unique in the Fairfax County school system and aroused the interest of other drama departments throughout the county. Mr. Donald Cox, drama director at Oakton High School, and Mr. George Robert Allen, drama director at Falls Church High School, were invited to be Critic Judges of thirteen plays. Following the final play of each evening the Critic Judge commented on the acting, directing, set designs and costume designs of each play, and presented awards for the most outstanding work of the evening. The plays ranged in variety from comedy to drama, melodrama, and theater of the absurd. Although they were directed by students, a great deal of appreciation went to Mrs. Irene Odorizzi for her willingness to supervise their work and for making such a festival possible. Marian Shenk.
