The 38th Annual Prince George Speech Arts and Drama Festival, themed "All the Places We Couldn't Go" is all about fun. Through participation in the festival, students experience the joy and reward of showcasing their work in front of audiences – usually live, but this year virtual. The festival fosters the love of performing, builds self-confidence and provides participants the opportunity to receive valuable feedback from qualified adjudicators. Along with its educational value, the festival is a celebration of the eternal beauty of language and literature.
The Prince George Speech Arts & Drama Festival Society is a Non-Profit Society, run by community volunteers with the generous support of community organizations and individuals. We are a member of Performing Arts B.C., and the Community Arts Council of Prince George.
