THE MPF 24-HOUR PLAY FESTIVAL
Thanks to a generous grant from the Maine Theater Fund, we are pleased to initiate what we are certain will become a popular annual feature at Acorn's MPF - the 24-hour play festival. Similar in format to the 48-hour film festival, this event will cap off the MPF. Please contact Acorn Productions if interested in being involved in this event.
