Steve wins two CONDAs

Woo hoo! Steve had been nominated for a City of Newcastle Drama Award (CONDA - Newcastle's version of the Oscars) for his costume design for The Producers, the show that Metropolitan Players had staged in September at the Civic Theatre in Newcastle. The CONDA Awards took place last Friday 5th December, the same night as it happened that we had gone to Ballina to see Ballina Players perform the very same show with my colleague Maree and her husband, Joe.

As we were driving back to Larnook Steve received a text that he had in fact received a CONDA Award for Oustanding Achievment in Musical Theatre! However, more was to come. Just after midnight we took a call from Julie Black, who had directed The Producers who also informed him that he had also won another CONDA for Achievment in Costume Design. Woo hoo!!! That brings his total cache of CONDAS to 5.

Thanks to Jenny (Brook) for her lovely photo of the two awards which she will lovingly cradle up from Newcastle To Maryville at Larnook in the new year.
