Last season for the first time the Oshawa Little Theatre pre sented its three productions in the well appointed auditorium of the brand new Eastdale Col- legiate on Harmony Road. This was an important move for the OLT because they were ambitious to keep the standards of their performance on the use and to take advantage of their growing stature to altract more patrons.
