Members from Abergavenny Pantomime Company were really excited to learn that they won four NODA awards for last year’s production ‘Peter Pan’. NODA is the National Operatic and Dramatic Association and each year their adjudicators review dramas, musicals, pantomimes and youth productions across the UK.  Each region holds award ceremonies where productions are nominated to the categories of Best Play, Best Musical, Best Pantomime and Best Youth Production for each district. 

At the annual Wales and Ireland NODA Awards held at the Three Counties Hotel, Hereford on the 18^th May 2013, Abergavenny Pantomime Company received three NODA awards for the best show poster, best standard souvenir show programme and also for the best technical production of ‘Peter Pan’. It will come as no surprise to anyone who was lucky enough to watch Peter Pan at the Borough Theatre in February 2012, which was performed to sell out audiences.

Furthermore APC was also recently awarded the ‘Bill and Nora Timmins Crystal Trophy’ at NODA’s National Awards Ceremony in Peebles, Scotland on the 28th September 2013 for the best Show Poster ‘Runner Up’ – “A fine achievement to be second in the UK, very well done!”
