Searsport District High School is premiering "Being Brontë," an original one-act play written by SDHS alumna Grace Scharlacken, with performances beginning February 27, 2025, at Mount View High School. The educational comedy alternates between modern podcasters imagining the Brontë household and the Victorian literary family themselves, featuring a cast of experienced senior actors alongside freshmen making their one-act debuts. Additional performances will follow in Belfast and Searsport before the production competes in the Maine State Regional One-Act Play competition:
