Looking for Information on early Dramafests!
Sun, 18 Oct 2009, 05:15 pmI'm compiling a check list of the venues and Adjudicators for the State One-Act Drama Festival as it was originally known (now Dramafest)
As far as I can see it started in more or less its current form in 1984 at the Wanneroo Shire Hall with Simon Phillips as Adjudicator.
I don' have the information on the 1985 one, and a note on the info from the 1986 one says "first ITA run Festival" it was held at Hackett Hall with Geoff Gibbs. Was that the Playlovers venue or the UWA Hackett Hall????
1988 is also a blank and I'm missing the Adjudicator for 1993 at Roleystone.
Please can any kind person with a good memory or some old programmes fill in the blanks.
Many thanks, Norma Davis (ITA)

For your information:
1980 Stirling Players State Drama Festival - Adjudicator Jake Newby
1982 Garrick Theatre State Drama Festival - Adjudicator Nigel Ridout
I was the Festival Director for the three Drama Festivals: 1980, 1982 and 1984 (Wanneroo Repertory - Adjudicator Simon Philips). Further, together with Doug Hellens, I wrote the Rules for those Drama Festivals which I believe are still being used today.
Cheers for now.
