Local Anne of Green Gables play chosen for drama festival
The Elora Community Theatre production of Anne of Green Gables has been chosen as one of five plays to be featured at the Western Ontario Drama League (WODL) Theatre Festival.
Hosted by Theatre Woodstock, the festival will run from March 16 to 21 at The Market Centre and will feature one performance per night by competing groups.
In addition to performances, competitors will have the opportunity to attend skill development workshops presented by festival adjudicator John P. Kelly.
“We’re all so thrilled to see this show go to festival. The cast and crew, all 50 of them, have worked so hard. It’s a great accomplishment and we’re very excited,” said director Deb Stanson.
Closing just over a week ago to nearly sold-out houses, ECT’s production will cap-off the festival with a performance on March 20 at 8pm. The presentation of preliminary and festival awards will take place on March 21.
Tickets for individual performances are $20, and tickets for the awards ball are $50. Series tickets are also available. Orders may be placed by phoning Theatre Woodstock at 519-537-2582 or visiting theatrewoodstock.com.
Reservations are suggested.
