Grant Stake Drama Dep't Night . First annual Drama Award Night was held March 8 as a climax of a month-lon- g drama festival in Grant Stake. Drama Grant awards were presented to outstanding thespians of the stake. The four best one-a- ct plays (out of 12 wards) were staged as part of Drama Grant Night. Grant Stake MIA drama directors, Murrlle and Marie Wilson, conceived the idea of a series of one-a- ct plays. Their purpose was to keep drama after the roadshows were finished. Some 300 persons in the MIA participated in the festival. It encouraged growth and de-velopment among old hands of drama, as well as among people who had never had experience before the festival. One girl was so frightened of being in a play she was almost literally, "afraid of the sound of her own voice when rehearsals began. She was given a leading role, and grew in confidence to the point that she gave a credible perform-ance. Type of plays varied from straight drama, through comedy, mystery, allegory, to old fashioned mellerdrammer. They gave stake audiences a well rounded selection of entertainment. Youngsters were treated to the thrill of "real, live actors" - quite a change from television, they agreed. Awards for the best play went to the Grant 11th for What Are You Going To Wear? It was directed by Velda Bruner. Second place was captured by Grant 3rd Ward, with Wildcat Willie Gets The Willies, directed by Helen Glissmeyer. Honorable mention was given to Grant 8th Ward with The Uninvited Ghost, directed by Joyce Smith, and Grant 9th Ward for The Monument, directed by Shirley Coleman. Best actress and actors awards were taken by Kay Haws, 9th Ward;' Steven Cattam, 3rd Ward. Besl supporting actress and actor were Helen Engman, Uth Ward, and Gene Davis, 4th Ward. Special awards for character portrayals went to Ray Horton, Marie Penrod, Barbara Mc- Donald, Carol James, Sheila Donaldson, Mary June Lamb.
