Corner Canyon High drama students take home a top honor from state championship

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Over the weekend, students of Corner Canyon High School participated in a statewide theater competition — and took home one of the championship’s top honors.

The school’s drama students were welcomed back to campus by a police escort after becoming state champions, and were met by cheers and applause.

According to the 2024-2025 UHSAA handbook, the top three ranked plays in the theater competition are awarded plaques for their respective rankings, and all others are granted certificates. Medals are awarded to pieces that received at least 65 points during the competition.

About the competition

The competition, held by the Utah High School Activities Association (UHSAA), had several categories for students to compete in, including classic scenes, contemporary scenes, costume design, musical theatre, and pantomime, among others.

Before advancing to the state competition, individual competitors had to have received at least 60 points at the regional level. Plays must have ranked in the top three winners at the regional level, but there are exceptions for the fourth- and fifth-place plays as well. Regional and state theatre meets were held in March and April.

Almost a decade ago, the Utah Advisory Council of Theatre Teachers (UACTT) was given permission by UHSSA to represent the Beehive State’s theatre teachers and help improve the theatre meets. The UACTT communicates with the state’s teachers and with the UHSAA.
