They were performed in Dollar Academy Studio Theatre on Friday 17th and Saturday 18th February 2017.

A Betrothal

by Lanford Wilson
The setting is a flower show. Two exhibitors are annoyed at the curt treatment that the judges have given their creations. They begin to admire each other's flowers and this sparks creative ideas.

Secretarial Skills
