WCAODS scored a massive 24 nominations at the NODA District 5 & 7 Awards Night on 10th February 2023 - and walked away with no less than FIVE awards!
Guys and Dolls had NINE nominations and won 2 awards, Elf the Musical had SIX nominations and won 2 awards, and our wonderful Youth Group, AKT, had NINE nominations and won 1 award for their production of Annie Jr.
The evening was a packed and jubilant celebration of the return of amateur theatre after the problems of the last few years. And WCAODS proved once again that we are at the forefront of quality musicals in the area.
