YMCA drama takes top spot

Professor Sam McCready and his wife Joan, both well known as adjudicators in drama and actors in their own right, assisted in judging the entries, The Irish Temperance League has a network of over 80 community groups working to combat alcohol and other drug abuse.

This year it invited the groups to participate in a drama competition. They were asked to write up and present a 20 minute drama on any theme related to their activities in combatting abuse, and to submit it on a DVD.

The acting was highly commended and the efforts showed much preparation and research into the problems young people face. The contribution of the PSNI was much appreciated in the support they gave in ‘arresting and interviewing problem teenagers.’
