2015 Provincial Awards List

The AHSDFA would like to acknowledge the students of Zone 8’s Strathcona High School, whose production of Hannah Moscovitch’s East of Berlin was very well received at festival. Unfortunately it exceeded the 65 minute time limit and was therefore ineligible for official recognition.

Zones from all over Alberta arrived to the Red Deer College Arts Centre to share their outstanding work in theatre over the three day festival. Our adjudicators, Lynda Adams (artistic) and Heather Cornick (technical) were wowed by the work presented on the RDC main stage.
