Dear Fans, Parents, Coaches, Administrators & Participants:
Welcome to the 2013 WHSAA State Drama Competition! Thank you for supporting this educational
experience for our students. We would like to wish all the participants the best of luck during their competition.
Activity programs provide valuable lessons for our students. Through the drama program, students have
learned the value of teamwork and have dedicated many hours towards developing a solid work ethic. Drama
also helps build self-esteem and character along with developing the self-discipline it takes to achieve a quality
performance. Participation in drama is a valuable part of the overall high school experience and is an extension
of a good educational program.
“We are High School”. In this world of technology where face to face communication is diminishing, high
school activities continue to be a vehicle to bring communities together and promote community pride. This
event enriches each student’s total educational experience and assists in promoting positive school and
community relations.
We are pleased with the overall results of the positive actions taken by our schools last year in promoting
sportsmanship. We thank all of you at this event for being positive role models and representing your
community in a positive fashion.
We would like to thank the Wyoming Educators of Secondary Theatre (WEST) for their time and effort in
preparing for this event. Their experience and expertise in hosting the State Drama Tournament ensures a
successful event each year. We would also like to thank Central Wyoming College for opening their doors to all
of us and invite you to enjoy Riverton during your stay. “Break a Leg”!
Join the RIDE,

Ron Laird, CMAA
Commissioner
