PEMADS and the Salters' Cup

From 1957 it hosted the Salters' Cup One-Act Play Festival which celebrated its thirtieth anniversary in 1987. The cup itself was awarded for best director and the specific aim of the competition was to encourage new directors., although later acting awards were also introduced. To maintain high standards of productions the awards were not issued during some festivals.
