2016 Maine Drama Festival fast approaches
In the upcoming weeks, nearly 3000 Maine high school students from 81 high schools will compete in the 85th annual Maine Drama Festival. The event is sponsored by the Maine Principals' Association and the Maine Drama Council.
March 4-5, at nine regional sites, schools from Class A (at least 525 students) and Class B (524 or fewer students) will present plays ranging from the classics to original student-written plays. Winners from each regional will be selected by a panel of judges to advance to the State Finals on March 18-19. The Class A Finals will be at Camden Hills Regional HS and Class B at Stearns HS. One school from each State Final will be selected to advance to the New England Drama Festival April 21-23 in Old Saybrook, CT.
Please feel free to contact either of the MDF Coordinators with any questions or for further information including contact information for individual schools and directors.
