Beyond the Mask

The 32nd Annual Drama Festival
January 15 & 16

​New Canaan High School Theatre's Annual Drama Festival features one-act plays written by students.

Students enter a  theme-based play and winners are selected to be produced.

Students are in charge of all aspects of the production: writing, directing, casting, costumes, lighting, sound, etc...

We need writers, directors, actors, designers, and crew members to make this student produced festival of original one-acts to happen. Our theme this year is..."Beyond the mask". This can be interpreted in so many ways. Of course, there is the connection to what's happening now and the masks we wear everyday, but also think beyond that. Let's make sure to find the humor, the joy and the hope that lies beyond the mask.

We would also like to have a student create the artwork for the poster this year. Anyone can submit!

Please send play and poster submissions to Nicholas Urda at [email protected]
