Miller Redpath Memorial Award for Most Memorable Moment
This award in presented in memory of one of our founder members, Miller Redpath, who sadly died in 2013. Miller’s personality, unique singing voice and head-banging style of dancing are always the first things we remember when thinking of that initial show.
The Memorable Moment Award is given to a person or group of people involved in an event or incident which springs instantly to mind when recalling a production in the last 12 months.
AND THE WINNER IS….. The Tango
The Tango in The Addams Family took hours of hard work to devise, set and perfect but was an absolute show-stopper, with rapturous applause from the audience every night.
Thank you to Amelia, Seb, Grace, Rose, Rhodie, Emily and Jo (the choreographer) for a marvellous memory.
