We’re flying the flag at national association awards

UPDATED 09/05/2020: While we didn’t win Best Show, we did win the district achievement award. Thanks to everyone for supporting us.

We are waving the mid-Somerset flag at a national association awards night this Spring after being nominated for ‘best musical’.

As we celebrate our 90th birthday, we have been nominated at the National Operatic and Dramatic Association’s SW awards for our production of The Addams Family.

The show, directed by West End choreographer and former Street resident Andrew Wright, wowed crowds at Strode Theatre last April, and could be crowned best musical against 16 other shows from across the south west.

Laura Vernoum, our Chairman, said: “This is really exciting news to be nominated among so many other great shows from across the region. The Addams Family was a huge show for us, and it’s great to even be receiving nomination recognition; if we grab the top prize then that will just be the icing on the cake. We’re keeping everything crossed.”

The awards will be announced at a dinner in Plymouth on May 9.
