In a bit of an unusual turn, it was following this festival that 2 of Cranbrook Community Theatre’s entries went on to play for the Cranbrook audience in general. These were the award winning A Child Went Forth and Three Actors and Their Drama.

Learn more about that on our Gallery under Special Performances.  They ran for 2 nights only.
