In November 2019 the VUTC produced the Third annual ‘York Region Festival of One Act Plays,’ featuring six plays over three nights all on one stage at the Old Town Hall in historic downtown Newmarket, Canada. Once again the festival featured new plays and world premieres by established and emerging playwrights. Ron Fromstein’s dramatic play “OUT” won the best play of the festival and Fabian Levy-Hara won the best performance by an actor for his stunning performance in Fromstein’s play “Out” directed by Joan Burrows. Bruce Williamson took the Ross Award for best production in the festival for directing Norm Foster’s delightful comedy ‘Under the Bright Sun,’ featuring Colin Murphy, Kira Rosenbloom, Alison Colins and Imre Szabo.

Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, the fourth annual “Newmarket international festival of one act
plays” at the Old Town Hall in Newmarket Ontario Canada has been postponed until 2021.
On May 13, 14, 15 2021 the festival will present six brilliant plays by playwrights from Canada,
United States and Australia. Several plays are world premieres, performed on stage for the very
first time before the festival audience.
