Oh! It’s A Lovely War

Celebrating Others

I do love being a National Operatic and Dramatic Society (NODA) Rep and being able to celebrate the achievements of the theatre companies / societies that I support – today really brought that home at the NODA Annual Celebration Day and AGM in Alton. I was beaming with such pride and happiness as (particularly my) societies went up to claim their Excellence Awards, and that my groups won four of the South East Regional Awards! I’m so thrilled for people to receive accolades for their work, especially when it is excellent.

My District Excellence Awards went to: Brighton Theatre Group, The Millenium Players, Ifield Barn Theatre Society, Henfield Theatre Company, and Burgess Hill Musical Theatre – they all did so well, there were more on my long list, it was hard to choose. In the South East Regional Awards, Millenium Players won best new writing for Alice in Wonderland, Brighton Theatre Group won best Youth Production for the East of South East for Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, Burgess Hill Musical Theatre Group won best modern musical for the new Kipps Half a Sixpence, and Henfield Theatre Company won best drama for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.

Vicariously so thrilled it’s like I’ve won myself. Uber happy!

Time For Art

Here’s my latest experiment. I wasn’t pleased with it until I put it down and looked at it from afar, then I thought it might be ok.

And sometimes it’s the fact that you’ve actually put pens / brushes on paper to create something, and the very act of doing that makes you happy!
