Theatre: One-Act Directors
WISDAA has a proud tradition of offering its one-act play contest series in theatre since 1930. In our WISDAA Hall of Fame, we have recognized a select group of theatre directors for their longevity, achievement (as measured in awards), and respect of their peers in our greater statewide community.

Theatre: Actors
The following students had earned multiple Outstanding Acting Awards from 1930-2017. From 2017 onward, adjudicators have endeavored to recognize more actors at the State Festival, which has skewed the number of students who have earned multiple awards. Therefore, a review process is happening in 2020 to align the WHSFA’s Hall of Fame to other interscholastic activity associations, involving a rigorous review of alumni and their accomplishments both while in high school, as well as post-high school, and how they have applied those skills and talents beyond graduation. More information on this process will be posted as it is determined.
