Fort Kent & Presque Isle Win Awards At Maine Drama Festival 2022

Big time drama over the weekend 

The Maine Drama Festival for high schools throughout the state was held last weekend, with two local schools competing. Officials with Maine Drama decided to hold regional competitions once again this year, and not host a statewide competition. 

Strong showing  

Fort Kent and Presque Isle competed at Stearns High School, the site of the northern region for 2022. The team from Fort Kent High School finished 2nd place overall, behind the winner, Central. Presque Isle finished in 5th place overall. Fort Kent performed “Cuda's Last Ride” and Presque Isle students performed “While Shakespeare Slept” at the competition.
