Xavier Canals va rebre el passat dissabte el premi Arlequí de la Federació de grups amateurs de teatre de Catalunya, per la seva labor pel foment dels grups de teatre amateur, i la sorpresa fou que durant la vetllada celebrada a Pineda de Mar, Jordi Milán va rebre una menció especial, que s'atorga de forma més esporàdica.
