The World is Ending in 8 Minutes: MDI High School Drama Announces Student-Directed Production
BAR HARBOR, ME — What would you do if you knew the world was ending in exactly eight minutes? Mount Desert Island High School Drama invites the community to explore this haunting, humorous, and deeply human question in their upcoming production of 8 Minutes Left by E.B. Lee.
The production marks a shift for the department as it takes the stage under the direction of MDI senior Graham Carter. Under the mentorship of veteran drama director Mark Puglisi, Carter leads a talented young cast through a series of vignettes that capture the final moments of various characters as they grapple with the ultimate deadline.
8 Minutes Left is a fast-paced, poignant dramedy. From a couple arguing over a long-held secret to a scientist trying to find a last-minute solution, the play examines the urgency of the human experience. Graham Carter’s direction promises to bring a fresh, youthful perspective to these universal themes of regret, love, and what it means to truly live.
The show will run for three performances at MDI High School's Higgins-Demas Theater: the premiere on Friday, May 22 @ 7:00 PM, and two performances on Saturday, May 23, at 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM
Adults are $10 and students & seniors are $5 and will be available at the door.
