Each fall several Valwood students work together to develop their theatre skills as they prepare for the One Act Play Competition, a Georgia Independent School Association literary event.  Any Valwood upper school student may audition for this play, or sign up to work stage crew or tech.  Rehearsals are held after school throughout September, October, and early November. One Act is sponsored by Jan Schert.

Over the years our Valwood One Act Players have earned a history of excellence with their memorable performances of the following productions:
