Festival 2010 wrapped up on Sunday night with a splendid Gala at the Best Western in Liverpool, capping off one of most successful LITF Festivals ever held. The LITF Organizing Committee is already looking ahead to Festival 2012.

Festival 2010 awards were handed out at the Sunday night Closing Ceremonies. For a list of award winners, click here.

We have the latest news on the Iranian troupe. Their Visas were denied, and therefore are not able to attend the festival. However, we have a replacement show. Our friends from Algeria, Theatre Ibn Sina, will perform in Iran’s place.

The Jester Fish mascot is making an appearance at the Superstore and Sobey’s in Liverpool tomorrow! Keep a look out!!

Iran was not able to secure travel visas, and therefore can’t make it to LITF 2010.  We are very sorry they have to be excluded from the program.

The entertainment lineup at LITF 2010 is going to be spectacular! We'll have DJ Cam on Wednesday and Thursday, Charlie A'Court on Friday night ($5), Hal Bruce on Saturday night ($5), and the Hupman Brothers for the Gala on Sunday ($20). View the program here.

Congratulations to our Saltscapes contest winners Doug and Vicki Murray of Dartmouth. The Murrays have won four nights accommodation at the Best Western Liverpool, and two all-access passes to LITF.

Look for the Funky Fish mascot appearing at Saltscapes Expo on Saturday, May 1st.

The Winds of Change / Wales play, Last Tango in Liverpool has been cast, and the experiment is ready. The cast will learn their lines, but won’t actually start rehearsals with director Neil Maidman until the week of the festival. The play will be performed on Saturday afternoon.

Keep on the lookout for the Jester Fish mascot, being unveiled this year!
