Byadmin

WOW received two awards at the National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA) Annual Awards Evening held in Bristol for the south west region. These were in recognition of the high quality of both of WOW’s 2017 productions.

Last April’s WOW Show, directed and choreographed by Martine Burt, won the Best Compilation Award for the whole of the South West region. WOW President, Janet Stockley, who received the award said, “This is such an honour with the south west area stretching from Penzance right through to Bournemouth and as far north as Cheltenham.”

WOW also received the District Achievement Award for last November’s production of ‘Me and My Girl’, directed by Martyn Knight.

Martine Burt directed and choreographed WOW’s April production of Footloose at Weymouth’s Pavilion Theatre and all the qualities that have seen her work receive four regional awards with WOW were also on display in this production.
