The Festival Connection
Plans for the 2012 CDA Festival are underway!
This year's festival will be held at Ellington High School on March 24, 25, 2012
It is a fantastic opportunity to bring students, teachers, directors and parents together from all over the state who share a passion for theater. Students will perform and tech their shows, attend discussions and workshops, and make friends from all over the state. Although awards are given in a huge variety of categories, our primary reason for this festival is to celebrate our joy of theater.
Registration for the festival begins on October 1, 2011 and closes on December 15, 2011, or whenever all slots are filled. If you are interested in participating, download the 2012 CDA Festival information packet. In it you will find:- 2012 CDA Festival official entry form (requires principal’s signature)
