2011 - WEST SIDE STORY - Award Winning Show
Following on from the tremendously successful and sell-out run of West Side Story in March 2011, we are proud to announce that it was nominated for three “Spotlight Awards” by ACT, the Association of Community Theatre.
Barbara Herd - “Most Committed to Theatre”
Best Youth Production – “Most Original Production Concept (Youth)”
Jennifer Kent for the Best Youth Award – “Most Original Character Portrayal (Youth)”
We are delighted to report that SCAMPS Youth Company came away with 2 Awards: the Society for the Best Production, and Jennifer Kent for Best Youth.
Congratulations and thanks go to all concerned for making the show such a success: Adam Whittle (Director), David Bradford (Musical Director), Julie Aspinall (Choreographer), the Committee and backstage helpers, but most importantly the cast for their hard work, dedication and outstanding performances. In the words of one reviewer, “What a fabulous show this was … the production proved to me that the reputation for excellence which SCAMPS enjoys is very well deserved”.
2011 - SUMMER FUNDRAISING CONCERT - Raising £1,400 towards "Hot Mikado"
2010 - FOOTLOOSE
2009 - BUGSY MALONE
NODA - "A balanced mixture of newcomers and old hands made up the cast for this favourite of junior shows. SCAMPS productions attract the cream of the local junior talent --- the show went off at a cracking pace, the costumes were excellent and the multipurpose set was most effective. Well done everyone involved."
2008 - 42nd STREET
NODA - "The traditional opening of a partly raised curtain revealing tap dancing feet set the mood for this vigorous production with performances from the talented cast that belied their youthful years. This show places great demands on the dancing ability of the cast and SCAMPS excelled in this department. Congratulations all round"
2007 - SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS
NODA - "This brave choice of show for a cast of young performers, average age 16, paid off for SCAMPS with lively performances from principals and chorus alike. The scenes were well set, costumes were great and the show moved at a cracking pace. Congratulations all round, especially to the compilers of the programme."
2006 - SUMMER HOLIDAY
NODA - "The musical numbers require the exuberance of youth to be performed to their best advantage and this production by SCAMPS had that in abundance"
2005 - FAME
NODA - "Yet another top class production by this multi—talented youth company. The ensemble routines were lively, tuneful and performed with breathtaking vigour. The entire production was a credit to all involved."
2004 - SWEET CHARITY - NODA Nomination
NODA - "Previous performances by this multi-talented company have earned well deserved acclaim and NODA awards, but in my humble opinion Sweet Charity is the best to date"
2003 - BARNUM - NODA Nomination
NODA - "A challenging choice for any Society, Barnum was performed by this award winning youth company with a panache and brilliance beyond their years"
2002 - COPACABANA - NODA Best Youth Musical
NODA - "This production would have graced the stage of any theatre in the country such was the professionalism of every aspect. The entire production was entertainment of the highest standard receiving a well deserved standing ovation at the final curtain and all concerned should be proud of their involvement."
