BILL Harrow and Judy Campbell of the Harry and Pearl Ensemble have taken out second place for best comedy at the recent Ipswich One Act Play festival.
It was for their original play “Edmund and June”.
Fresh from their first place in Port Macquarie, Judy and Bill were thrilled with their result, as all competing acts were high quality.
“We were so proud to take out our award in this historic festival,” Judy told News Of The Area.
“We are looking at another festival in NSW next year and even have enquiries from some Sydney venues.
“We have become very attached to our characters of Edmund and June and wish to keep them alive as long as possible.”
The Little Ipswich Theatre festival is the longest running in Australia and is held in the iconic “Incinerator Theatre”.
The venue came about when two architects with theatrical connections saved the Walter Burleigh Griffin designed building from demolition, converting it into a theatre in 1969.
The local community turned out in big numbers to support live theatre.
Due to the work of the Little Ipswich Theatre committee, 29 plays were performed over the three-day festival.
Bill and Judy said there was an amazing amount of talent on display with original scripts, short plays and youth productions.
