A high school in Adrian, Mich., is putting on its first-ever One Act Festival on Feb.

It's a collection of one-act plays, all directed by high school students, MLive.com reports.
"Our first student directed One Act Festival is a long-time idea, finally brought to life," Emily Gifford, the theater manager for Adrian Public Schools, says in a press release.
