One of America’s largest heartaches was brought to life by this year’s one act cast and crew. The production of “Runaways,”’ written by Elizabeth Swado, was an astounding success. The play won first runner up, best directed play, best ensemble, and best musical at the Georgia Theater Conference which was held at the Macon Hilton. The one act play was also victorious at Region competition by taking first place. At Region, two perfect scores were received, and the awards of best actress and actor went to Tangie Ram- bert and Rob Gordon. The One-Act has been in twenty-five region competitions and won twenty-three, yet this was the first time that Northside was awarded two perfect scores. After Northside claimed such a well-deserved victory at the region, they went on to state compe- tition. At state the play won first runner up. ‘‘Runaways” was also performed at several local facilities.
