The
Saskatchewan Drama Association is pleased to announce the following
plays have been selected to be published in its magazine "My
Lines."
The magazine will be sent to all SDA adult members and the selected
playwriting competition students in September.
This
year's judge was Mr. Roy Challis
An actor, director, writer and teacher, Roy has been involved in theatre
in Saskatchewan for over forty years. While no longer formally teaching,
he shares his knowledge and love of theatre with anyone who would
care to watch, listen and learn.
During the summer, Roy and his grandson Reid have done the Fringe
thing, a chance to present at least one of the plays he has written
during the year. He has instructed drama and writing at Summer School
of the Arts Theatre at Bruno, Saskatchewan and organized Drama in
the City for aspiring young performers in and around the Battlefords.
His play, "The Matriarchs" was chosen to represent Theatre
Canada at the International Theatre Festival in Aruba. As an award
winning actor and director, he wrote a play with music for the 100th
Anniversary celebrations for the Town of Battleford and is working
on a sequel.
Roy continues to write plays, perform and be involved in Theatre in
his community.
Thank
you to all the students and their teachers who participated in this
year's program!
