In 2024 our entry into the Eastern Ontario Drama League's one-act play festival was Trapper. This is a thriller written by NGCT's very own President. This was the first full stage production of this play.

The one-act play festival had several sessions with a total of nine plays. Ours was in the first session, the evening of Friday, November 1.

This production received two full awards for NGCT, and two nominations:
