I had no idea Al would be spending weekends on the Road looking at shows a i Lack of Money was the second Surprise. Beginning this year the tournament will depend on \ commercial sponsorship or funding. Turner said they did no to have time to drum up enough commercial sponsorship for this year so there Wasny to enough Money to pay expenses for judges to Fly from the United states and to travel around he rope to see the plays. ,.so Turner and three other qualified people in the area put their artistic backgrounds to work As weekend judges. They travelled in government be hides spent the night with volunteers and entertainment directors and paid for their own meals. They were seated and ready when every curtain opened for which they took great Pride. Turner said he a glad also he had the Chance to visit the different military communities to see How each Community adapts itself to the stage especially the Smidler communities such As Bamberg. Quot we knew we ,�?� Turner said of the Keller theatre which routinely performs to a packed House of american and German Audi Encis. A but i did no to realize How much Quality was out  after judging each play tic judges would meet with the cast and critique the work.

But knowing the peculiarities involved in Milb. Lory theater helped provide qualify critiques. Turner said a there was nothing to kill a he said.
