BURLINGTON â The Wisconsin High School Theater Festival announced Dec. 11 that Burlington High Schoolâs one-act play, âMill Girls,â excelled across four award categories. BHS was one of only 10 schools across Wisconsin recognized with an award in all four school-level categories â Criticsâ Choice, Directing, Ensemble and Crew. The Criticsâ Choice award recognizes the highest standard of excellence at the state festival. The lead adjudicator for BHS remarked that the show tackled very difficult subject matter and a hard story to tell emotionally, but the cast and crew obviously worked hard to make the story meaningful on many levels. Competing in the one-act during the fall is always an accomplishment for the cast and crew, but this year the students had to navigate COVID-19 protocols to submit a virtual performance using masks and social distancing.
