Dress Rehearsal in Perth

Posted on Nov 6, 2024 | 0 comments

It was a thrill to see Dress Rehearsal come to life again at the One Act Play festival in Perth, Ontario, thanks to this trio of very talented actors (Jen Buder, Cam Sedgwick, Lloyd Balme), the expert guidance of Claudia Wade’s direction, and Stephanie Bowen’s detailed stage management.

It was a wonderful performance, with a great audience reaction. Many audience members went out of their way after the show to congratulate the cast on a job well done.

We received two nominations: one for bringing a new kind of theatre to the stage (Adjudicator’s award), and one for Jen Buder’s acting performance (Pauline Grant award for acting).

Unfortunately, no awards. Maybe next time!
