Looking for Information on early Dramafests!

I'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)

State drama festivals

Hi Norma, My trophy for Best Actress was for the State Drama festival 1972, held at the Dolphin, sponsored by Cultural development Council. It was for Garrick's production of "Colour Bar", written by Ken Smith, I have the program somewhere which will have all the rest of the details eg Adjudicator Norma give me time and I'll go back thru the Garrick archives and give you some much earlier info.
