Mask and Dagger to open "Spitfire Grill" on Nov. 12

         One of senior Pam Freedy’s biggest challenges this year will be leading UNH’s only student-run theatre and drama group known as Mask and Dagger.

            The group, founded in 1923, is the oldest student organization on campus, and puts on several big productions each year, as well as smaller “second stage” productions. The group also predates UNH’s Department of Theatre and Dance by over 50 years, according to the Mask and Dagger website.

             Freedy said that Mask and Dagger draws crowds from mostly friends and family, as well as the UNH community.

            “The majority of our audience comes from the college campus,” Freedy said. “We do advertise to towns and community members, along with high schools in Dover and Portsmouth, so we do get other community members to come as well.”

            Everything Mask and Dagger does is completely student-produced, run and directed. The group generally puts on three or four shows a year (there will be three shows this year), usually beginning in early November.

            The first show this year will be the Spitfire Grill, which is a musical that will open on Thursday, Nov. 12.
