As part of our 10th anniversary season, we decided that we would feature plays written by Gabriolans for our popular One-Act Play Festival.
After a series of assessment readings, the following plays were selected.
With many roles – large and small – to be cast, this is an ideal opportunity for anyone who has been considering giving acting a try.
