The Hart House One-Act Playwriting Contest, organized by the Drama Society, has existed since 1997. Due to the contest’s spring deadline, an excerpt from last year’s winning play, The Retirement Party by Rob Dipardo, has been included in this year’s Review. The judge of the 2007 competition was Graham Cozzubbo.

The Review is also honoured to be graced by the talents of feature photographer, John Beebe, and artists, Cher Li and Shana Rose.
