Festival 2015 was successful for the Battlefords Community Players as their production of Drinking Alone by Norm Foster brought home three awards and an honourable mention from TheatreFest 2015 held April 19 to 25 in Melfort. Â
Bernie Cardin and Danielle Barrett won best supporting actor and actress respectfully and the company won the William Hubbard award for Meritorious Enterprise specifically for its efforts in expanding and developing new members, says BCP executive producer Donna Challis.Â
BCP also received an honourable mention for the Best Visual award.
"The Festival, hosted by Melfort Amateur Dramatics, had very good attendance and the adjudication workshop by Ian Nelson of Saskatoon was extremely educational," says Challis. "All and all a great showcase for community theatre in Saskatchewan presented by Theatre Saskatchewan, the 81st festival and the oldest running competitive festival in Canada."
Drinking Alone featured actors Bernie Cardin, Danielle Barrett, John Butler, Jill Jones and Lisa Bilanski and was directed by Fraser Glen.
