Youthful Drama

The Casco Bay cluster of United Methodist churches has formed a Youth Drama Club, led by Rev. Tom Frey of the Peoples UMC in South Portland.

The group meets every other Sunday afternoon at Peoples and currently is working on a production of Story Theatre: Adapted for stage by Paul Sills from stories in the Grimm Brothers’ collection and Aesop’s Fables. The production will be performed for the public on May 20 at 4 p.m. at the Peoples UMC.

The current production includes performers from our church and the West Scarborough UMC. The performers from our church include Jake Wilson, Megan Connelly, Katie Connelly, Dana Dufresne Bonoff  and Mariah Parker.
