Kingston Vale Operatic & Dramatic Society

Our Winners!

As you may be aware Young KVODS were chosen to perform at the Woking Drama Festival. On Thursday 8th October they performed ‘Rags to Riches’ by Richard Roberts. We were given fantastic comments from the adjudicator.

The adjudicator was asked to recall 2 plays to perform again at the awards evening held on Saturday 17th October. He was asked to choose 2 plays that he believed would give a varied evening of entertainment and we were thrilled when Young KVODS were chosen to perform.

Rags to Riches

The group performed to an almost sold out auditorium at the Rhoda McGaw Theatre on the awards evening and then settled down to hear the announcement of nominations and winners.

We are ecstatic to announce that we won Best Youth play of the Festival!! We would also like to congratulate Jan Smith, our wardrobe mistress, who won the adjudicator’s award. This was awarded to her for her absolutely fantastic costumes.
