Students were recognized for their outstanding performances, technical contributions, leadership, and commitment to our theatre community.

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!
