Adjudicator - John P. KellyJohn P has now been in Canada for over six years and in that period, he has directed professionally, workshopped and adjudicated in all regions of Theatre Ontario (oh except ACT-CO). He has tutored three times for the Theatre Ontario summer course and is regularly brought back to his native Ireland to work with community groups there. With his own theatre company in Ottawa, he has been nominated for four consecutive years as Best Director by the Critics Circle and has won the award outright on two of those occasions.
