Players production of Someone Who'll Watch Over Me. The provincial drama festival was last week in Abbotsford. - Local play sweeps awar NORTH Vancouver Community Players r has returned from Theatre BC’s no Mainstage ’98 competition with a near sweep oi the awards. The theatre company’s production of Someone Who'll Watch Over Me won six of eight honors for which it was cligible at the provincial drama festi- ‘val, held July 4 to 1] in Abbotsford. Producers Jeannie Brown and Kathleen Denkewalter accepted the award for best produc- tion while Francesca Vivanti won for best director; Mark Gash for best actor; Dave McIntosh for best supporting actor and Alun Macanulty for best set design. The Best Technical award was shared by the produc- tion’s technical director Peter Morris, lighting operator Val Johnson, sound operator Anne Marsh and props coordinator Barbara Duffus. The three-character play, which also starred Vince Callaghan, is described as a gripping insight into man’s sur- vival skills. The production debuted at Hendry Hall in April and advanced to Mainstage °98 after winning the North Shore zone of Theatre BC during the Festival of Plays at Presentation House in May. At Mainstage, the company was also in the running, but did not win, for Best Costumes and Best Ensemble Acting. ’ There were no costume changes for the actors, who por- trayed imprisoned hostages, yet “we were commended for our . costumes because they looked so authentic,” said Marsh, the company’s publicist. The actors were required to wear their costume of T-shirt and shorts through weeks of rehearsals and performances without laundering. . “They stank,” said Marsh, also noting that the blankets used on stage had been taken into the parking lot and driven over by the props person to make them sufficiently grungy. Winners each reccived The Thespian, an cight-inch-tall (20 cm) bronze statuette created by Kelowna sculptor Geert Maas. The six awards comprised an unprecedented win for the company, which was last recognized for Best Production in "92 for Home by David Storcy. The company has aircady selected its entry for next year’s Festival of Plays, to be held at the Deep Cove Shaw Theatre in May. The Community Players will mount Sa/twater Moon by David Erench, a two-character play set in Newfoundland.
