Biographical / Historical
The Maine Masque Theater at the University of Maine was founded in 1906 as the University of Maine Dramatic Club. In 1910, its name was changed to the Maine Masque Theater. All students at the University may participate in its productions. Each year the Maine Masque produces one main stage production as part of the School of Performing Arts season of events.
The Maine Masque is an independent organization under the jurisdiction of the University of Maine Student Government, but closely works with the School of Performing Arts to support various theater related activities on and off campus.
