1 2 The FEDA (Festival of Excellence in Dramatic Arts) was initiated eleven years ago with the specific aim of showcasing outstanding Drama Departments of schools in Gauteng. It began with five schools and now has over fifty schools entering every year. The event is run by Janet Baylis and Phillipa Sandilands. FEDA prides itself on encouraging young theatre practitioners to take risks and create cutting edge work and perform on a professional stage. The standard of work presented is quite extraordinary and each year more young writers, directors, and performers showcase their talent. Many FEDA students have moved on to Drama departments at UCT, AFDA and Wits and some are studying in L.A and New York. FEDA also keeps developing according to the requests of the students, and this year we have continued to grow our Original Works Festival with over twenty seven productions. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS FRIDAY
