Tonight, the Maine West Drama Club's Improv Warriors entertained us with their hilarious set of improv games and skits! Engaging the audience through soliciting material and themes, their performances had everyone roaring with laughter!
Well done, Improv Warriors! Thank you for sharing your talents with us and for bringing joy and laughter to our evening!
Congratulations to the senior students who performed their last show as an Improv Warrior! The skills and confidence you have learned and earned through your participation in the troupe will be carried with you for life!

Tonight, the students in the radio, TV & film (broadcasting) program celebrated a year of success! Awards were distributed to students for significant achievement within and outside of the program, including regional, state and even national recognitions. Students' dedication to the radio, TV and film program at West was also honored: eight seniors earned the 4 year award - meaning they have been involved in the program all four years of their career at West!
A huge congratulations to the students on all of their work in the program this year! Tonight's largely student-produced awards ceremony was impressive, as well, flowing smoothly from segment to segment and MC'd confidently!
