OLT's entry to the EODL's One-Act Play Festival takes home two awards
The Ottawa Little Theatre has spent the weekend at the EODL (Eastern Ontario Drama League) One-Act Play Festival which was superbly hosted this year by Kanata Theatre.
OLT’s entry was one of the winning plays from the OLT’s 85th National One-Act Playwriting Competition, Family Grief Counseling by Brandon Hicks from New Brunswick.
The play, directed by first-time director Lindsey Keene, was performed on Friday, Nov. 6, one of nine plays presented over three sessions culminating in the Awards Brunch on Sunday, Nov. 8.
Adjudicator Annette Procunier gave an Acting Award to Brian Cano, who played the Groundskeeper in the six-person play set in a graveyard, and Stage Manager Brenna Wehrle won for Best Coordinated Production earning praise for a production that was “clearly well-planned, well-rehearsed, with backstage tech activities communicated with outstanding efficiency and effectiveness”.
Congratulations to everyone involved, and a big thank-you to Kanata Theatre.
Family Grief Counselling will be presented again on Sunday, November 15, at an OLT Pub Night starting at 6:30 p.m. with the play at 7:30. Admission is free!
