"The Friendly Festival"

Wed 23rd - Sat 26th May 2012

7.30pm start each night

Once again, May sees the return of our annual competitive Festival of One Act Plays, featuring many varied one act plays from dramatics groups throughout the area.

This is a great opportunity to see some really exciting and varied drama from all over the North West. Groups are limited to a maximum of 45 minutes and each evening has 2 different plays on. Each evening is concluded by a verbal adjudication by our adjudicator.

Awards are made on the Saturday night. The awards are:

• Best Production (junior, youth and senior)

• The Adjudicator's Award
• The Syd Mence Cup for a Piece of Theatre Magic
