🎉🏆Nominations announcement from the Association of Community Theatre - ACTUK 🎉🏆
The Out of the Spotlight awards celebrate the unsung heroes of the theatre – from Front of House to Set Painting, sound, lighting and everything in between.
The Zodiac Theatre Group would like to thank and celebrate, on behalf of our members, cast and crew, those who often don't get a mention.
These often unsung members and supporters are integral to the smooth running of shows and putting on fantastic shows for our 1000s of audience members over the years.
Shows couldn't be as fantastic as they are without a wonderful backstage crew.
The Zodiac have 4 people nominated for 5 different awards
🌟Excellence in Stage Craft – Special Effects
🌟🌟Wardrobe x 2
🌟Excellence in Stage Craft – Lighting Design
🌟Excellence in Stage Craft – Sound Design
Crossed fingers for the awards night.
