For the first time in its history, the Lehman Lobo Theatre company is on its way to the bi-district round of UIL One Act Play Competition. On March 6, the Lobo Theatre, led by Director Stephanie Sanders, advanced after a strong performance of "Things I Know to be True" by Andrew Bovell at the 26-5A District OAP competition held in Boerne. That result pushed the Lobos into the bi-district round, held March 24 at Rouse High, which marks the program's deepest run in UIL competition. In addition, nine Lobos earned superlative accolades at the District OAP competition.
The plot of Things I Know To Be True follows the story and the many struggles of the Price Family. The play begins with a monologue from Rosie Price on a European getaway during her gap-year. She reveals that she had met a man called Emanuel while she was in Berlin, but found that he’d stolen most of her valuables and run away when she woke up one night - forcing her to return to Australia.
Lobo awards won at District OAP were: Technical Award – Josh O'Connor; Outstanding Technical Crew – Gabi Rivas, Josh O'Connor, Zoe Zuniga, Sarai Diaz, Arissa de los Santos, Emma Die; Honorable Mention All-Star Cast – Emilee Cude; All-Star Cast – Zachary White; Outstanding Performer – Jared Brown
