This year’s senior award goes to Adryanna Smith who will graduate from Oak Hill High School. She is graduating with summa cum laude distinction and has earned more than 100 community service hours. She is accepted to the University of Southern Maine and will be majoring in Studio Art. She has also been accepted into the university’s honors program. She has also been active as a “techie” for the Oak Hill High School’s Drama Club. Her contribution to OBP consisted of creating promotional posters for our productions of “The Laramie Project” and “Worlds Afire”. The quality of her work has been outstanding. We wish her the very best and are positive that she will be successful in whatever endeavor she pursues. Congratulations, Adryanna!!

Hopefully, within a week or so, we will announce the children’s books that will be performed for our Reading Rumpus event being presented on August 30th at 2:00 p.m. at Johnson Hall Opera House. Just waiting on a couple of final permissions from the authors/illustrators and once that is complete, the titles will be announced! At this time, we are pleased to report that all authors/illustrators who have granted permission will plan on attending the event and will be available to autograph the books which will be available to buy at the theatre that day, serviced by the Mockingbird Bookshop (Bath, Maine). Will keep you posted!!!
