Why not enter the NANDA Youth Festival? It’s great fun; you will learn a lot and will also have a chance to make friends with people from other groups. Even if you don’t have a fully formed youth group, why not encourage some of your younger members to get a small cast production together.
The 2012 Festival will be held at the Chilwell Olympia Theatre at Chilwell School, Nottingham on the evening of Friday 18th May and Saturday 19th May afternoon and evening.
And I am delighted to say that the adjudicator for the festival this year will be Bob Wildgust.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Jean Lebeter and Sonya Oates
The 2012 London Olympics is not just about sport - it is also an opportunity to enjoy and participate in a major cultural celebration.
Early in June 2012, as part of the cultural celebrations around the Games, Nottingham Libraries and Information Services is keen to showcase the talents of local drama groups.
Groups (or individuals from a group) would perform a short dramatic piece (5 – 10 minutes) in the Central Library; a monologue, sketch or extract from a longer play, ideally in costume, and either read from a script or performed from memory. Groups could also display costumes, photographs, programmes etc. The event would probably take place on Saturday 9th or 16th June.
If you would like to be involved please complete the reply slip attached by Friday 27th January 2012. You are not committed in any way at this stage. Once we have gauged the level of interest, we will contact you to let you know if the event can go ahead.
I hope that you have all enjoyed the festive season and now it’s back to work now for those groups with productions imminent. May I wish you all the very best for a successful 2012.
