View source for SACEE One-act Play Festival

[[SACEE One-act Play Festival]] is the name given to a series of festivals for schools instigated and promoted at all its local branches by the South African Council for English Education (SACEE)[https://sacee.org.za/]. 

As part of its mandate, [[SACEE]] encouraged its local branches to stage one-act play [[Festival|festivals]] for schools in various towns and cities, generally referred to as the [[SACEE One-act Play Festivals]]. 

Pretoria for instance has hosted a festival successfully from 1975 onwards, with the finals usually held in the [[Piet van der Walt Theatre]] in Pretoria. A variety of certificates and trophies were awarded and a noteworthy feature is the predominance of South African plays entered. Among the winners over the years have been [[Damon Galgut]] for [[No. 1 Utopia Lane]] (1981). 

There have also been festivals Springs and other locations.
