North Queensland Drama Festival 1966

Abstract

This year's Festival attracted nineteen entries and offered to the public as varied a programme as it would be possible to present. As usual, the audiences were well stimulated and entertained; alas, also as usual, the audiences were for too small. As well as being very discouraging for the Committee, this factor also affects the actors. On Thursday night, to a fair house, the plays seemed much brighter than
on either Friday or Saturday's first two sessions. Players need an audience and its response or they sink into the doldrums.
