Milton District High School is hosting a district-level National Theatre School Drama Festival from March 4 to March 6, 2026, marking the first time the school has served as the host venue for the event. Ten schools from across the region are participating in the competition to showcase local student talent. This cultural event brings together students from public, Catholic, and private school boards to perform on the local stage.
The festival serves as a competition where three theatrical productions will be chosen by judges to move forward to the regional level of the competition. It offers a chance for young actors and backstage crews to demonstrate their skills in front of a live audience. The event is organized through the National Theatre School of Canada, which provides a platform for high school arts programs across the country.
Local residents are invited to watch the performances, with tickets available for purchase at the door for $12. All money raised from the ticket sales will be used to support the theatre department at Milton District High School. The event is expected to increase traffic and parking needs around the school as visitors arrive to watch the shows during the three-day festival.
