The first of the circuit dates has finally arrived. Ballyshannon Drama Society pack the set into the van and everyone hits the road for St. Eugene’s Parochial Hall, Newtownstewart.
The set construction team will spend the morning building the set in the hall before lighting designer Mark Fearon arrives to install the lights. The cast will arrive in the afternoon for a final rehearsal. Cast and crew will enjoy the hospitality of the drama festival committee as everyone is treated to an early evening meal.
Curtain opens at 8pm, when the show will be performed in front of the discerning local audience as well as adjudicator Alan Haslett. Following the show, Mr. Haslett will take to the stage to offer his views on the production to the audience, before meeting cast and crew for a private adjudication.
Let the games begin. Wish us luck!
