Over the weekend, Potomac’s Upper School theatre arts students competed at the Virginia Thespian Festival, the state's largest and most prestigious high school theatre gathering. The event was held at the Capital One Hall.
Potomac was the only competing independent school out of the 60 Virginia schools. More than 1,000 students attended, with 24 schools competing in the One Act Play festival. Of the 12 awards given, our students walked away with four awards, the most given to a single school.
Award recipients:
- All-Star Cast in the State of Virginia, Virginia Thespians - Karina Satoskar ’25

- Outstanding Performer in the State of Virginia, Virginia Thespians - Rachel Nelson ‘24

The cast performed for the Upper School during Panther Time today and is offering an encore tomorrow, January 12, at 6:30 pm, in the Black Box Theatre. Tickets may be reserved here. Read Satoskar’s reflections on this experience in her recent article from The Current.
