Senior Carrie Sample was also nominated for the Best Actor award. The yearly One-Act festival is held by the Virginia High School League (VHSL) at district, regional, and state levels, in which student-directed plays are evaluated on direction, acting, and ensemble effect (coordination).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The play both were part of, <em>The Couch<\/em>,<em> <\/em>by T.C.
