The fifth anniversary of the London One Act Festival was marked with record attendance and a new award. Awards were handed out by adjudicator Jayson McDonald at the close of the festival.

The new award, an all-expenses trip to a one-week Theatre Ontario workshop in St. Catharines -- was made possible by a grant from the London Arts Council. The first recipient was Simon Goodwin, who was both an actor (One and Other) and director (Still) in the festival.
