The standard of acting was, in general, of a much higher standard than in most West Kootenay festivals before it. Plays selected were mostly worthwhile vehicles and work- shops with University of Vic- toria personnel were heavily attended. Large and enthusiastic au- diences attended the six ses- sions of the festival which began with a matinee perfor- mance last Wednesday. Two plays were selected from a five-play “short list” by adjudicator Murray Edwards of the University of Victoria ex- tension department, to festivals later this spring. Going on to the showcase at the B.C. High School Drama Conference in Victoria in May is Cranbrook's production of “Tests”, while “Keep Tightly Closed in a Cool Dry Place” by Castlegar's Omega Theatre Co. goes to the Theatre B.C. Festival in early June in North Vancouver. The other three plays on the short list were all by L. V. Rogers’ Heritage Players: “The Love Mouse”, “Here We Are” and “Chamber Music”.
