WISDAA uses SpeechWire’s email service to communicate with coaches. Please follow instructions linked below to ensure your school is not filtering SpeechWire emails; otherwise you may not receive those emails.
Registration Open #
Go to speechwire.com/wisdaaoneact. After logging in click either:
WISDAA One-Act registration (if your one-act advanced from sectional to State)
WITF Non-One-Act School (if you aren’t participating in the one-act contest or your one-act did not advance from sectional to State)
State One-act Schools:
Non-one-act Schools:
If you are participating in the State one-act contest, the registration checklist screen will look like the image to the left-top; if you are not participating in one-act, you will see something more like the image to the left-bottom.
Please complete all of the checklist items that have an orange exclamation point so that they turn green. You must ensure all the pages with green check marks are complete with the correct number of participants and adults listed, etc.
NOTE: To add participants, you must first add students to your roster.
Invoices may NOT be immediately viewable; the WISDAA office will daily review registrations and mark schools that are WISDAA members (to qualify for the WISDAA discount), and then “release” invoice viewing for you to see.
Standard registration fees for participants and adults include access to contest one-acts, workshops, exhibits, and Tech Challenge. Showcase tickets incur add-on fees; Thespy entries are registered separately (see below) and are invoiced separately.
For friends/family coming to view one-acts, viewing passes will be available to purchase in the lobby for $12; we recommend such guests arrive about an hour ahead of time to queue in line for seats.
The “Adults” page is to note faculty/staff (non-high school student) individuals accompanying the school to the festival. In terms of fees, one free chaperone for every 15 students, up to two are granted; others are assessed a nominal registration fee.
Responsible Adult Ratios #
* Every school must provide a minimum of 2 adults;
| Students | 1-20* | 21-30 | 31-40 | 41-50 | 51-60 | 61-70 | 71-80 | Continues |
| Responsible Adults | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | Continues |
Thespys #
Directors may register students separately for the Thespy technical presentations and individual, duo, and small group performance events by clicking the WISDAA Thespys registration icon, which brings them to the separate Thespy contest registration (please note, there are separate fees for Thespy entries). Thespys will be offered in person and asynchronously online.
