NODA Nominations 2023 (Updated)

CADOS and Chorley Youth Theatre shows from 2020-2022 have been nominated for many awards in Region 6 of NODA NW. NODA (National Operatic and Dramatic Association) is the national body that represents amateur theatre “to protect and advance the interests of operatic and dramatic art, and of societies engaged therein”

Winners of these awards will be announced on 25th February, and those winners then go to the North West awards and maybe the National Awards. We were delighted to win Best Poster at the recent National Awards. The poster for our musical Ordinary Days was designed, as ever, by Ian Robinson.

Region 6 Representative Jim Briscoe presents the award to Ian, and poses with nominees Amber Tabiner and Robert Walsh.
