Blam… am really pleased to let you know that our productions have been nominated in the South Of England CURTAIN CALL AWARDS.

Alex Chalk for Norman Threwer (Best supporting Youth Actor) ZIGGY’S BAND
Charlotte Wells for Doris Threwer (Best Supporting Youth Actor (female) SEQUINNED
Georgina Mattack for Gilly Threwer (Best newcomer) ZIGGY’S BAND
Over 100 productions are up for these awards, so Oaklands Youth Theatre have done particularly well. I’m well chuffed. We’ve only ever had two nominations in one year before, and only twice before had any nominations at all!!!The awards are dished out on the 27th Jan… I’ll let you know if we’re successful.
The new one act play (SEQUINNED SUITS AND PLATFORM BOOTS which is a tribute to the glam rock years but still includes references and general genuflections to the MainMan) is going to be presented at various Festivals in the South Of England next March/April and then will be performed, all being well, at Edinburgh Festival week two Aug 2006. – Mark Wheeller
