Last month we attended the Stage Management Awards, held at Alexandra Palace as part of the ABTT convention, where our production and technical crew were nominated for their work on The Chairs tour. We were incredibly proud when they were presented with a highly commended award in the team category. Fellow nominees included several much larger West End shows and theatre venues, yet our all-female powerhouse – Stacey, Bea, Anna and Louise – were recognised alongside the winners for BOY at the Almeida, and another highly commended team for Hoard Festival at the New Vic.

The team were published in the list of winners in the following day's edition of The Stage newspaper and our picture of celebrations at the reception afterwards was featured as the SMA's tweet of the week!
