Congratulations to all of the students who have participated in the Maine West Drama program during the 2022-2023 school year! Tonight's Drama Awards Night recognized students for their achievements in the drama classes, and for their outstanding contributions to the production season: Drop Dead (fall play), Young Frankenstein (musical) and Trap (spring play). Whether they contributed on or off the stage (go tech crew!), each and every person was instrumental to creating these inspiring performances and for sustaining a drama program that enriches us all!
Tonight many students were also inducted into the International Thespian Society, an honors organization for theatre students around the world. Congratulations to everyone who was inducted!
Bravo to Selma Velic who was selected by their peers for the "Top Thespian" award!
As is tradition, some of next year's season was announced at tonight's awards ceremony.
