National Drama Festival set for October

Aug 29, 2012 News

Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony has confirmed that the National Drama Festival is set to be held in October at the National Cultural Center (NCC).
According to the Minister, there has been good response as many persons are already expressing their interest in being a part of the festival, which had a very successful run last year.
“I think there are more than 60 entries and these are players and people who would be doing plays during the period,” he said.
At present, these persons are undergoing a period of training aimed at sharpening their skills and techniques. Prizes will be awarded to playwrights this year, so as to encourage writing of more Guyanese plays, an area that has seen great progress.
Last year, the Ministry started the National Drama Competition, an event which was last held sometime in the 1960s.
Last year’s event was organised through the Ministries of Culture, Youth and Sport, and Education and partners in theatre such as Al Creighton, Henry Rodney and Godfrey Naughton.
The Festival has a broad objective of providing a platform for youths to unveil and showcase their creative talent in Guyana and helping youths to realize their potential as actors, actresses, play writers and directors and stage management. (GINA)
