4th Annual Middle School Acting Opportunity

Maine student competition

Calling all middle school actors, actresses, and singers! Do you love to act or sing? Then the place for you to be is the 4th Annual Maine Student Acting Competition on Saturday, May 10, 2014. MSAC will be held at Searsport District Middle School in Searsport, Maine from 8am to 3pm. The competition is open to all middle school students.

A variety of events will be available for students to compete in at this one-day acting tournament. Students can compete individually by performing monologues or singing solos. Middle schoolers can also sing duets or perform a scene with a partner in the competition. Want to compete as a group? There’s a ton of group events available including group singing and acting. The popular Improvmania will be available again this year, an improvisation group competition where three students from different schools join together to compete as a team. Fun, engaging, hands-on workshops will be available this year for students when they are not involved in competition.

This is the 4th year of the Maine Student Acting Competition, and it has been growing every year. Over 70 students competed last year, and our goal is to have 100 students participating at this year’s competition! Teams will be coming from schools all over Maine.
