LORRAINE TEEVANThe organisers of the Cavan One-Act Festival will be resting this week after hosting a hectic weekend of drama.
Cavan One-Act Drama Festival witnessed nine troupes from the four corners of Ireland stage shows with a view to making he All Ireland One Act finals in Ennis in December.
The festival saw amateur theatre companies battling for points in both confined and open sections.
The One Act Drama Festival presented an opportunity for audiences to experience a wide variety of one act plays, three each night, over the three nights in the Townhall in Cavan Town. This is the first time the home of theatre in Cavan Town hosted the event since 2017.
The festival itself has been on hold for the last two years.
Festival chair Rachael Cullivan was delighted with the way the weekend went: “It was a brilliant weekend of drama. We had a packed theatre, a huge variety of plays and excellent acting. Gerry Stembridge was both informative and entertaining as an adjudicator. We are looking forward to having him back for the Three Act plays next March.”
