The GMHS Drama Club had a very exciting Saturday! Their performance of our original play, By the Tall Trees, earned them a spot in the METG Semifinals on March 15th!
The Massachusetts High School Drama Festival is a competitive program that typically includes 112 one-act plays produced by member high schools. The competition is organized across three levels – preliminary, semi-final and State Finals. Student excellence in acting and technical design is recognized at each level. Of the 112 one-act plays that enter the festival, fourteen will be selected as State Finalists, of which three will be named winners. Two schools chosen from the State Finalists will go on to represent Massachusetts in the New England Drama Festival, the regional showcase of secondary school theatre.
The following students earned All Star Cast awards for their work:
