CADS Drama Awards
The committee would like to invite nominations for the CADS Drama Awards, which will be handed over at the end of one of our pantomime performances in January. The Fred Sillence Award is given "for outstanding contribution to the performing arts"; The Lizzie Houghton Award is given "for outstanding contribution to youth drama". Nominations can be made by anyone from the local area, and award nominees don't have to be a member of CADS or have been involved with CADS performances.
If you'd like to make a nomination, please contact the CADS secretary by Jan 18th 2017. For further information about the awards and a list of previous winners, please see our website.
CADS 2017 Productions
The committee would like to invite ideas for productions, of any type, in 2017. For example, the Cambridge Drama Festival 2017 will take place 24th-27th April (for which entries must be submitted by 31st Dec 2016), and the Royston Arts Festival 2017 will take place in Sep 2017 (the theme will be Synergy). If you have any ideas about these or other productions, please contact the CADS secretary.
Happy Christmas and New Year
