'OUR STORY'
The Yellow Point Drama Group—one of the oldest theatre groups in BC—got its start in the early 1950s when former opera singer, leading director of drama, and elocution teacher, Anne Mossman moved to Yellow Point from Vancouver. Her enthusiasm for the dramatic arts was contagious and she soon enlisted a nucleus of Cedar and Yellow Point locals to produce YPDG’s first season comprised of three one-act plays: "Waltz Time", "Dear Departed", and "Which Way is the Way to Boston?". The trio of plays went on to win best acting and best directed awards at various Vancouver Island drama festivals.
Fresh from its success, the amateur troupe went on to officially form The Yellow Point Drama Group in 1953, and in the decades since, has marked a number of successful theatrical milestones, winning numerous festival awards along the way for the quality of its acting, direction, costumes and set design.​
We invite you to become a Member of The Yellow point Drama Group and add your skills and support to a growing membership.
