The Workshop - EODL 1953 Regional Festival entry (full-length)
"Point of Departure" was one of OLT's entries into the Eastern Ontario Regional Drama Festival hosted at the Little Theatre from Jan. 13 to 17 where it was performed on Jan. 13. (Festival rules precluded showing full-length plays in Ottawa prior to the festival, though apparently a preview was performed in Deep River on Jan. 10.)
Florence Fancott won the Best Actress Award for her performance as Eurydice.
