Standout players elevate Till Ah Find a Place 4

H&T Theatre Arts Group has been one of the more active and productive theatre companies on the Guyanese stage in recent years. It is really a combination of two dramatists –Sheron Cadogan-Taylor, who is locally-based, and Ronald Hollingsworth, who lives in the USA.

Since its founding in 2012, H&T has been dominant in the Full-Length Plays Category of the National Drama Festival, including an unprecedented record of three consecutive victories. It has consistently produced annual plays, even in a wavering market, satisfying the desire for popular thrillers in the theatre, and in the process has seen the rise of Cadogan-Taylor as a major producer and a foremost theatre director. It can therefore claim a record of achievement.

Then there is Hollingsworth’s consistency as a leading Guyanese dramatist, fulfilling the demand for his plays among a popular audience. These have included the introduction of new work, the production of some of his best work, and the return of some of his most popular plays. Two of his best swept all before them: 83 Million Gees and Watch De Ride 3.
