Drama group wins innovation award
The Side by Side Theatre Group, based at Stourbridge College, have won another award, this time from Dudley Arts Council.
Councillor Duncan Lowndes and the Side by Side Theatre Group.
The award, for Innovation in the Arts, was presented at the council's recent AGM at which the actors gave a performance of the epilogue from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'.
Side By Side offers people with learning difficulties the opportunity to become involved in the cultural life of the community through the performing arts.
The group received the award, in the form of a silver salver, from Councillor Duncan Lowndes Assistant Director of Cultural Services.
Sarah Field, who plays both Astria Dosh and Titania in their new production 'We Are The Dreamers', thanked the council for the award and all the people who helped them to put on their performances.
The group plan to take their latest production to the Edinburgh Fringe in August.
