Drama Competition Preview

Every year the Massachusetts Education Theater Guild holds a statewide drama competition. For the past six years running Martha’s Vineyard has been represented at this festival, going all the way to the final round once.

This year the first round matchups take place on March 5 at Joseph Case High School in Swansea. However, a preview performance will be performed this Sunday, Feb. 27 at 4 p.m. at the Katharine Cornell Theatre in Vineyard Haven.

This year’s production is an original play called Lace created by the high school theater students and written by Kate Murray. The drama follows the lives of nine characters and their experiences during the Holocaust. Due to the violent and disturbing content of the play, it is not intended for all audiences.

Tickets are available at the door for $7; $5 for students and seniors.
