Salters' One Act Play Festival

The PEMADS Salters One Act Play Festival was an annual festival which was held for the first time in 1952, and, with the exception of 1963, 1964, 1979, 1980, 1982, and 1994, ran each year until 1998. The Festival was presented by PEMADS in association with the Arts and Culture Trust and Nedbank. In 1988 the festival co-ordinator Liz Yates, administrative assistant Audrey Whitehouse, co-ordinating stage director Manny Fokos and lighting operator Ken Brown, were instrumental in expanding the festival. The 1988 event was the first in 36 years to allow outside amateur societies, schools and drama workshops to participate, with directors and performers graded into junior,novice and experienced categories.

The festival claims that a number of "firsts" occurred there:

- The first such festival to boast English, Afrikaans and Xhosa presentations.

- The first time a "final" round was contested by three selected plays.

- An English-medium school, Victoria Park High School, entered an Afrikaans play, Soet, Suur en Sielkunde.

- The same play, The Bear, was presented twice by the PE College of Education with role swopping.

- The first Salters One Act Play Festival to have not only a professional adjudicator in Bess Finney, but also a professional co-ordinating stage director in Mairi Cameron.

- The Uitenhage Toneel presented Die Sandkis there, the first "out-of-town" entry by a formally constituted amateur theatrical society.

In addition, several entrants, Victoria Park High School, Vista University Drama Workshop and PE College of Education, took part for the first time. The intention was to provide a facility for both novice and experienced directors with an opportunity to present their productions of One-Act Plays to the public. The festival was intended to be seen as a vehicle for growth, experimentation and learning, but above all, for enjoyment and the sharing experiences with the other participants. The festival was always held in the Little Theatre, Belmont Terrace, Port Elizabeth. The festival is no longer staged.
