The Bushey and South West Herts Drama Festival aims to encourage young people from all backgrounds to participate in a friendly drama competition. The festival employs an experienced adjudicator, whose remit is to assess the entries giving both general and individual critique and encouragement directly after each performance.

Participants are encouraged to develop their performing skills and are rewarded for their effort, skill and imagination.

The organisers hope that young people will learn and enjoy the event both from their own participation and by watching others.

What we can offer:

Entries range from drama clubs to local schools including GCSE and A-level Drama students. We offer the chance to perform in front of an audience and to receive feedback from the adjudicator. Several Shell Connection plays have been performed in recent years.

The festival is an opportunity for your members to participate in a variety of theatrical experiences, from supporting to lead roles, directing or even writing. This also provides opportunities for them to explore the technical aspects, such as scenery, properties, lighting, sound design and stage management, in a safe and friendly environment.

The style of presentation can range from an empty stage with modern day clothing to full productions with sets and scene changes.
