SHORTS!! FRANKLIN AND FRIENDS ONE ACT PLAY FESTIVAL 2012
SHORTS – the Franklin and Friends one act play festival was a huge success this year. Although the group from Limpop had to pull out at the last minute due to their actor being in a car accident, the festival was a great success overall. Thanks to our two great judges – Clara Taub and Thorston Wedekind without whom a competetive festival of this nature is simply not possible. We were joined by two external societies – Roodepoort Little Theatre (RLT) and director Julius Radebe from Duduza, near Nigel. Thanks for travelling all that way and we hope to see you again next year!
