INTER-INSTITUTIONAL DRAMA COMPETITION
Stars of TV and well-known drama critics and directors will adjudicate
at a day-long drama competition among trainees of the Social Welfare Department
at the Kwun Tong Community Centre tomorrow (Friday).
The adjudicating panel includes Cheng Tze-tun, Chan Wing-keung,
Chan Chun-wah, and Lai Kwok-bun.
All are celebrities in local TV and drama circles, and all are
volunteering their time as a contribution to community welfare. They will
spend nine hours watching groups of trainees on the stage, and then award
prizes for the best performances.
Institutions taking part include the Begonia Road Boys' Home, the
Castle Peak Boys' Home, the Kwun Tong Hostel, the Ma Tau Wei Girls' Home,
the O Pui Shan Boys' Home, the Juvenile Care Centre and the Society of Boys'
Centres. The last two are not departmental institutions but voluntary agencies.
Participating teams have been spending some time selecting a suitable
play, arranging suitable costumes, and studying their lines.
Their efforts will be judged on the quality of performances, intelligent
teamwork, and technical competence with regard to stage management, lighting,
make-up, and so on.
Mr. Mak Wing-hong, Principal Social Welfare Officer in charge of
correctional institutions says: "The aim of this function is to stimulate an
interest in the creative arte, and raise the cultural level among the trainees
in our care."
