2013 The Massachusetts High School Festival (Massachusetts Educational Drama Guild) includes 115 one-act plays produced by member high schools. Norwood High School will be one of several hosts for the second level of the competition — semi-finals. Student excellence in acting and technical design is recognized at each level, including the selection of an All-Star Company at the finals. Two schools chosen at the State Festival will represent Massachusetts in the New England Drama Festival, the regional showcase of secondary school theatre.
