Last year
We got to the Final!
Saturday 8th June 2024 we performed Federico at the Finals. At the All England Theatre Festival in Maidenhead.
Whilst we were at the final we won the Adjudicator award for our live music in Federico and we are so proud of this accomplishment

Unfortunately we didn’t win best production but we are very proud of our achievements and all that took part.
