Our Winners!

As you may be aware Young KVODS were chosen to perform at the Woking Drama Festival. On Thursday 8th October they performed ‘Rags to Riches’ by Richard Roberts. We were given fantastic comments from the adjudicator.

The adjudicator was asked to recall 2 plays to perform again at the awards evening held on Saturday 17th October. He was asked to choose 2 plays that he believed would give a varied evening of entertainment and we were thrilled when Young KVODS were chosen to perform.

The group performed to an almost sold out auditorium at the Rhoda McGaw Theatre on the awards evening and then settled down to hear the announcement of nominations and winners.

We are ecstatic to announce that we won Best Youth play of the Festival!! We would also like to congratulate Jan Smith, our wardrobe mistress, who won the adjudicator’s award. This was awarded to her for her absolutely fantastic costumes.

However we have now decided to postpone this and it will be performed in November 2011.
The reason for postponing this show is due to some very exciting news.  KVODS have been granted the rights to perform Jesus Christ Superstar. As you may know this show is not normally available to amateur theatre companies. Andrew Lloyd Webber has only released the rights for the remainder of 2009 and all of 2010 to co-incide with the show’s 40th anniversary.
This is a fantastic opportunity for KVODS and will be a great show and an amazing experience.
More details will be released early next year!
Julie
