Cutting from the Leicester Mercury. 09/01/03

For our production of “Me And My Girl” in November 2002 we were nominated by the Leicester Mercurys ‘The Week Awards’ for the category of Best Amateur Dramatic Production.

The two other productions that were nominated for this category were:

“The Mikado” by The Hinckley Community Guild.

“An Inspector Calls” by the Leicester Drama Society, which subsequently went on to win the final award

Knighton Park Amateur Operatic Society were presented with a “Highly Commended” Certificate at The Week Awards presentation dinner held at the De Montfort Hall in February 2003.

Pictured with the award are (L to R), our Vice Chairman ‘Chris Hall’, Treasurer ‘Rex Staddon’ and Chairman ‘Iain Hamilton’, other guests from kpaos that were invited to the ceremony included Christine Tarry, who produced the show, Sarah Woodcock -Tarry, choreographer and Jason Woodcock who played the lead role of Bill Snibson.

We would also like to thank the rest of the production team and all of the cast and crew of Knighton Park Amateur Operatic Society and The Little Theatre for their contribution in making Me and My Girl such an enjoyable and successful show.

It was a huge achievement to be nominated for the award, particularly as there are so many companies in Leicestershire producing high calibre shows. We hope this award reflects the quality and commitment of our company.
