If you like live theater, you'll want to be at MDI High School this weekend, March 6-7, as MDI will be hosting the Downeast Regional of the Maine Drama Festival.

Drama festival rules dictate that each show must work within strict guidelines that limit show length (40 minutes) and setup and strike times (five minutes each.)

Tickets are $10 for Adults and $5 for Students and Seniors per session. Doors open 30 minutes before the first performance of the session. No photography or videotaping is allowed.
