Thank-you

I think a special thanks should go out to the ITA President, Melissa Merchant for all her hard work over the Dramafest weekend. Also to the Garrick Committee and Ingle Knight for giving up the whole weekend to make it an extemely fun and rewarding occasion.

Thanks!

Psst, Danni, they've already handed out the awards, it's too late to suck up... ;) Thanks to Mel for posting a full listing. Unfortunately some of us go to a university which doesn't recognise state holidays so couldn't attend the awards. Good to know who won what. Congratulations to all and thanks to those involved. -Stuart

Glad to see they found a male supporting actor worthy of an award!
