An interest in theatre from unexpected quarters

Another positive feature in the recent Guyana National Drama Festival was the clear sign that some amount of theatre is taking place among schools and youth groups.  There seems to be encouraging energy, interest and vibrant activity in some quarters, in certain instances as a result of the Schools Drama Festival, and in a few cases arising out of organised workshops.  What is more, the evidence shows that these groups and schools are not afraid to create original dramatic material as most of the plays presented were written or developed by members of the groups, their leaders or tutors.

It is to be particularly celebrated that most of the creative productivity in schools seems to be taking place in junior secondary schools which are not very well known and not among the more prominent institutions
