Over 1,000 students at 69 high schools all across Maine are preparing for the 2024 Maine Drama Festival.
On March 8th and 9th, at eight regional competitions in Brewer, Ellsworth, Fairfield, Freeport, Saco, Skowhegan, South Berwick, and Windham, schools will present plays ranging from the classics to student written pieces. Schools compete in two classes: Class A (over 450 students) and Class B (less than 450 students).
At each of the regional competitions, a panel of three judges will decide which performances advance to the State Finals on March 22nd and 23rd. The Ffnals for Class A will be held in the Strom Auditorium at Camden Hills Regional High School in Rockport. The finals for Class B will be held at Stearns High School in Millinocket. The Outstanding Performance at each state final will be invited to perform their show at the New England Drama Festival, held this year at Attleboro High School in Attleboro, Massachusetts on April 18th, 19th, and 20th.
The performance schedule for each of the regional sites will be available on the Maine Drama Festival Facebook page located at: https://www.facebook.com/medramafest/
