Boston Latin School is moving on to the Semifinals of Massachusetts High School Drama Festival! My Love Lies Frozen by Dead Rabbits Theatre is a piece about a trio of explorers trying to reach the North Pole in a hot air balloon and the woman who has a mental break when they don’t come back. It’s a beautiful 40 minute piece about the determination of the human spirit and the power of love. The right mix of hilarious and heartbreaking.

At the preliminary round we received All Star Company awards for acting for all four of our leads, for technical direction, and dramaturgy.

We will have encore school based performances on

• Thursday March 12 at 3pm and 7pm
• Friday March 13 at 3pm

Tickets available at our.show/lovelies or at the door.

Additionally we will be competing on March 14 at 9:30am at Marshfield High School for the Semifinals. Tickets will be available at metg.org shortly.
