For the first time ever, students from all the high schools in Huron County will par- ticipate in the Central Huron School Drama Festival on Friday, Feb. 28 and Saturday, Mar. 1. At Central Huron, students will assemble at Central Huron for participation in a number of theatre related workshops and groups discussions with professionals in their field. The festival is designed to provide not on- ly a showcase for area talent, but also it fosters an exchange of ideas and promotes cooperative friendship between students coming from several different schools and the, public gets treated tosome fine enter- tainment. All plays performed in the festival are written by professional Canadian playwrights or have been an original cooperative effort on the part of a teacher and the cast. The performance length of a play must not exceed 50 minutes. The adjudicator of the festival is Doug Bale, former London Free Press drama critic who will judge best male, best female and best technical performance. A wide variety of. material will be per- formed. On the opening night„, Friday, Feb. 28, Central Huron Secondary School in Clin- ton will perform the first act of "Boiler Room Suite" by Rex Deverell. This is a touching play about two skid row bums who, amid the confusion and failure in their lives, manage to act out personal fantasies which both make us laugh and touch our heart str- ings. Seaforth District Collegiate will perform an original script called "A Passage Through Prime Time. This play is a humorous look at our society and its salvish attachment to the. television. The play is ripe with parody. To conclude the evening, South Huron Secondary in Exeter will also perforin an original script called "Valedictorian." This piece deals with the volatile emotions of a first year university student who is called upon to be her high school's valedictorian. As you can see, it's a great opening night for ,the festival. On Saturday evening, the fine entertain- ment continues. Goderich District Col- legiate leads off with an hilarious comedy called "Hurray for Johnny Canuck" by Canadian 'playwright Ken Glass. Johnny Canuck is Canada's answer to "Uncle Sam' or "Captain America:" 'The play has a cer- tain comic book quality to it which will ap- peal to everyone both young and old. .Next, F.E. Madill Secondary in Wingham' will perform their original script calved "The Borderline." This play deals with the tragic elements of teenagers growing up in an increasingly complicated and stressful world. It is an honest and,sometimes painful look at our need for friendship in moments of great despair. To conclude the festival on Saturday even- ing, the final adjudication will take place with a number of awards being given out for outstanding performances. Tickets for students are $3"or $5 for both nights. Adults will be charged $4 for each night. Tickets will be on sale at the door both evenings and light refreshments will also be served.
