New theatre features local talent

RICHMOND'S brand new
Gateway Theatre is hoping to
develop an audience not only
trom the surrounding com-
munity but from all over the
Lower Mainland; and the
newly-formed Actors’ Guild

tellectually and emotionally.

Playing Drake is Graham
Cowley, whose credits in-
