Festival of Plays

SIX plays in six days. That's the theme behind this year's North Shore Zone of Theatre BC's Annual Festival of Plays. The week started on Monday the 6th and will run right through until Saturday the 11th at North Vancouver's Presentation House Theatre. It's a great chance to get out and see some very impressive local talent. Seven groups are taking part in the series which included a great kick-off reception on Sunday afternoon. Check out the faces below and see who you know. Some shows are sold out, but you can call 604-990-3474 for more information.

	Actor/volunteer Maggie Kolodziej (left) was happy just to volunteer for the afternoon alongside "Breaking the Code" actor Marie Morris.
	Bill Elliott, chairman of the NS Zone of Theatre BC, is also the producer of Theatre West Van's "Talking With".
	Vikki Krinsky (from left), Dale Wentland and Heather Olson are part of Teens M.A.D. (Making a Difference). They all appear in Friday's production of "Tell Me Why".
	Laura Hilton approaches her role in "Tell Me Why" with a great amount of maturity. Catch her on stage Friday night.
	NS Zone secretary Anne Marsh, who is also part of "The Skittles", was pleased to welcome North Van District mayor Don Bell.
