2009 Maine Drama Festival
March 3, 2009You’re in for a wonderful treat, if you attend the Maine Drama Festival!
This weekend, March 6th and 7th, 2009, the Maine Drama Festival will be taking place throughout Maine. Hundreds of high school students perform with their drama groups in 9 different high schools. Performances take place on Friday night, Saturday afternoon and Saturday night.
If you decide to attend one or all three time slots, you won’t be disappointed! What a great way to get out and relieve some of that cabin fever that you might be experiencing. For more details, please go to the Maine Festival Drama site and locate the high school closest to you, where the festival will be taking place.
The festival is supported by the Maine Principals’ Association. If you are a drama teacher and would like to add more information, I am sure readers would appreciate hearing your thoughts on the festival. Maybe I’ll see you there!
Also at the Maine Drama Festival, you and/or your students can attend a two hour workshop in staged combat given by The Maine Academy of Staged Combat:
From 9:30 to 11:30 am in Turner, Maine (Leavitt HS)
…and from:
2:00 to 4:00 pm in Freeport, Maine (Freeport HS).
More and more High Schools, Community Theatres and Professional Theatres all over New England are using the Maine Academy of Staged Combat to ramp up their production value and education value with SAFE, Effective and Historically Accurate Staged Combat. Get a taste of what it’s all about at the Maine Drama Festival!
