Present Stage Theatre are pleased to announce that we have won the Best Technical & Stage Management award for Present Laughter (2014). A lot of work went into the creation and decoration of the period set which included a baby grand piano and a staircase. Period props and furniture were sourced, carefully selected music and sound effects all added to the ambience of the play bringing Garry Essendine's studio apartment to life. Congratulations to the technical and stage management team for their hard work.
We are also delighted to announce that Present Stage won Best Programme (Basic Category) for A Chorus of Disapproval. The programme and its cover image were created by our very own Nathan Bolland, check out more of Nathan's fantastic work at www.attentioncreations.co.uk
