Lloydminster Comprehensive thespians are bringing back six awards from the recent One Act Plays- Zone 3 held in Ardrossan.
Three plays
Badger is about the lives and issues affecting women working in munitions factories in World War II.
The Puppet Master, written about 20 years ago by Lloyd Comp teacher Dwayne Jeffrey, deals with high school experiences, domestic family challenges, and the need to fit in while standing out. It’s a deeply dramatic dive into high school life and family issues.
Anniversary is about loss, grief and death, along with the challenges of starting over and new beginnings.

3. Best lighting design for the three productions- Ethan Marchant
4. Best supporting actor- Breton MacMillan in Badger

Best actor reaction
“I thought it was pretty fun to win it,” says Devin Chahley. The grade 11 student who had a lead role in the school’s musical in January, delivered performances in all three One-Act plays. Devin, who won the best actor award is grateful to Daivane Wallace who directed The Puppet Master.
The LCHS Drama Department put on the plays this week for family and community supporters at the school’s Barons’ Court Theatre.
Christine Brochu, drama teacher says describes the cast as “a phenomenal group of students.”
“Just very committed. Very dedicated and willing to work at their craft. They really made me proud as a teacher, mentor and someone who gets the pleasure and honour of working with all of them.”
