The Eastern Ontario Drama League is an umbrella organization representing community theatres from Haliburton to Cornwall to Cobourg. Two festivals are held each year providing theatre groups the opportunity to learn and improve their skills through professional adjudications. The Full-Length Festival is held in the spring and the One-Act Festival in the fall.

Each year, the EODL awards the EODL Scholarship (formerly known as the Thérèse May Scholarship) to a young member of one of our groups who intends to pursue a Theatre Arts related program. To nominate a member, contact the President, Liz Schell.
