Jasmine is IN LOVE.  But then he dumps her!  Oh the heartbreak!  And the hilarity!

The Staggering Heartbreak of Jasmine Merriwether will be Borgia On Stage Society's submission to the MSHSAA District 6 One-Act Competition this year.  Borgia Theater has won the District 6 competition four of the past five years and will strive to win again with this hilarious, yet poignant, look at relationships and love.

The St. Francis Borgia Regional High School Department of Theatre and Speech is a state and nationally recognized department noted for its excellence in theatre and speech education.  The department has won the Missouri State High School Activities Association District 6 one-act competition five of the past six years, took second place in the Christian Interscholastic Speech League in 2019, has performed as a mainstage production five times at the Missouri Thespian Conference since 1996, has been designated as a Missouri Thespian Honor Troupe every year since 1997, and was chosen as the Missouri delegate to the Chapter Select performance at the International Thespian Festival in 2015.  

Director Tim Buchheit has been at the helm of the department since 1995 and has been chosen as the SFBRHS Teacher of the Year, the Wal-Mart Teacher of the Year, and the Missouri Thespian Teacher of the Year.  Graduates of the department have performed and worked on technical crews around the world, including the current director of Late Night with Seth Meyers, former audio technician of Beautiful on tour and on Broadway and The Book of Mormon on tour, and former performer in the national tour of Wicked.  Graduates also direct theatre departments at Union High School, Sullivan High School, and Ladue Horton-Watkins High School.
