    I am excited to submit my first post! Does anyone have a suggestion for Seattle/WA State competitions for high schoolers in improv or one act competitions?

    Don't know about one-acts, but there is the August Wilson Monologue competition, which is a really fun opportunity. The Seattle Rep will also send someone to your class for a free monologue workshop. I think they're still doing this! (August Wilson Monologue Competition)

    Come see Washington State high school sophomores, juniors or seniors compete in the Seattle Finals of the national August Wilson Monologue Competition on March 8, 2011 at Seattle Rep. Tickets are free and the event is open to the public.

    Washington Thespians has the Individual Events where students can present monologues, scene cuttings, or musical numbers. There are two Western WA events (one in Mountlake Terrace and one in Olympia). 

    Jet City Improv also offers the Seattle Open which is an improv festival/competition specifically for High School groups. It's a totally free program, and students get feedback from professional improvisors, the opportunity to attend a workshop, and get to perform on the JCI stage. Registration isn't open yet, but the event happens in early March. http://www.jetcityimprov.org/outreach/festivals/seattle-open/The Seattle Open

    Have fun!
