ELATE news

Sylvia was a great success for us.  We were able to involve a number of new young people in our production.  This generated a number of accomplishments for us.  An adjudicators award for play choice and three nominations for actors awards;  Shannon MacLean, Simon Gregory and Jennifer Ramsay.  We are a especially proud of Jennifer being awarded best supporting actor.  This is a first for ELATE.

We are now involved in some new projects for the upcoming year.  Fran Jensen is directing “Half Life” by John Mighton . This will  be produced  September  26, 27 to coincide with the Deer Trail Studio Tour.

We are in the planning stages to have Walter Maskel come and do a workshop for us in October.

As well, we have two groups working on two one act plays which will be presented  at a fundraiser during October.  Murray Finn is directing “ A little Something for the Ducks” by Jean Lennox Toddie and  Carol Willett is directing a new play titled “ A Little Chocolate”  written by one of our new members Audrey Austin. Both plays will also be presented in Dinner Theatre format November  7, 8

We are very excited to be sponsoring a Children’s Drama Camp during July and August.  A few college students, graduates of the ELSS Drama program, approached us to sponsor a program which they will lead.  Their plan is to present a show in late August with students from grades 4 to 8.

Priscilla Hollick has gathered a small group of members together to try and carry on a program for children later in the year.  They are presently planning their strategy and program.

Our new President, Luc Morrisette is planning to direct the QUONTA production.

Murray Finn, vice president
