2011 Festival

The finals were held this past weekend with Class A being held at Camden Hills Regional High School and Class B at Rockland District High School. I was fortunate to see performances on Saturday evening in Rockland. I can not help but think how amazing the Festival is for providing the opportunity for students to come together to perform or to support the performance. Anyone who has participated knows the skills that students develop. The knowledge is used over and over throughout their lives. Students who participate in the One-Acts can’t get enough and find themselves taking part all four years of their high school careers.

Sitting in the theatre which is filled with high school students who are passionate about the experience sent chills up my spine. Congratulations to all the students and teachers who participate. And thank you to the parents for their support!
