BRITISH DRAMA LEAGUE
VISIT OF OFFICIAL TO NEW ZEALAND (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, June 2.
The principal of the London training school of the British Drama League (Miss Frances MacKenzie) arrived at Wellington by flying-boat today to conduct schools of acting and production throughout New Zealand, during the next four months. Miss MacKenzie is visiting New Zealand under the auspices of the British Drama League and with the assistance of the British Council. She hoped, she said, to give New Zealand Drama League members all the help she possibly could, and would visit as many drama groups in the Dominion as was possible. The problems of drama training in New Zealand, she imagined, were similar to those elsewhere, but she believed there was a lot of enthusiasm in the Drama League movement in the Dominion. Miss MacKenzie’s first school of drama will be held at Hastings at the Queen’s Birthday week-end. Subsequently, schools will be conducted at Auckland, Dunedin, Timaru, Nelson, and Stratford.
