Guelph Little Theatre receives more honours
From May 15 to the 20 here, four theatre productions from across Ontario participated in the prestigious Theatre Ontario Festival.

Individual adjudicator awards for outstanding costumes went to Sarah Harknett-Dunbar, Julia Loncke; outstanding performance by a female in a supporting role was won by Amiliah Goodrich; outstanding performance by a male in a supporting role was taken by Rob Gray, with honourable mention to Carlo Adamo.
Honourable mention for outstanding performance by a male went to Gord Cameron; outstanding technical achievement was awarded to Paul Briggs, Mark Sears, Bruce Bennett; and honourable mention for outstanding set design went to Paul Briggs.
The cast of Picasso at the Lapine Agile also won the award for outstanding ensemble work and the crew received honourable mention for its outstanding visual presentation.
