Organising Secretary of the Festival is Dingwall's Sandy Glass. He said: "We look forward to welcoming the nine teams to Inverness. During the last three years, Eden Court has undergone a terrific transformation to become the largest arts centre north of the border, so I know they will all enjoy performing in the exciting new venue."
"Our audiences, too, will enjoy the nine intriguing plays which include both excellent comedies and riveting dramas. This is the best amateur theatre in the country, so we are assured of three excellent nights' entertainment next month."
Funded by the Scottish Arts Council, SCDA is a community-based arts organisation which aims to showcase and develop the very best amateur acting talent in the country.
For tickets, visit the Eden Court Box Office or telephone 01463 234 234.
The winner will go on to represent Scotland at the British Finals which are in Swansea on July 4 and 5.
