Win for Wairoa Group
Polished Performances at Drama Festival
Some very polished performances were seen by full houses at the Junior Drama Festival held by Unity Theatre recently. Groups from as far north as Ruatoria and as far south as Wairoa entered the festival. Winners of the competition were Wairoa College who presented "The Bear" in which the stagecraft, enunciation and delivery were all top standard.
The winning group with producer Judith Bartlett are, from left, Bryan Stubbings, Yvonne Prebble and Brett Hamilton.
The Ngata Memorial College players kept the audience in stitches with their version of Bernard Shaw's "Passion, Poison and Petrifaction." From left, Maurice MacDonald, Hana Hohapata, Peter Rangiwai, Kaylene Tuhou, Ruby Mackey, Horiana Ngarimu and Thomas Rangihuna.
Second place in the festival was taken by Gisborne Youth Theatre's "Ernie's Incredible Illucinations." From left, in front, sitting: Lesley Richards, Linda Shaw, Murray Thomson, Dawn Wilson, Murray Friar. At back: Theresa Simpson, Peter Lister, Rex Simpson, Donald Niven, Rex Bullard, Philip Thomsen.
