National Student Drama Festival Starts
The National Student Drama Festival kicked off yesterday with its week long celebration of theatre, live performances, discussions, workshops and special events. With renewed funding it is onward and upward for the NSDF.
The festival began on the 1st January 1956 as a collaboration between the British broadsheet weekly newspaper, The Sunday Times and the National Union of Students. It takes place yearly in seaside the town of Scarborough, in Yorkshire, England. Student theatre groups from all over the UK meet to perform, learn, network and share their passion for the theatrical arts.
While known as one of the best kept secrets in the UK, this festival has launched many a successful career. The National Student Drama Festival has supported student drama for 52 years; long may it continue to nurture the embryonic aspirations of the young and creatively gifted.
