All Souls Dramatic Club in Southport is celebrating winning FIVE awards at the North West NODA (National Operatic and Dramatic Association) Awards at the DW Stadium in Wigan.
The company produces a stunning annual family pantomime at The Atkinson Theatre in Southport every year, putting smiles on the faces of thousands of families.
They won their Best Pantomime award for the spectacular Cinderella production which ran at The Atkinson in Southport 16th-26th January 2025.
They followed that up this year with Peter Pan (15th and 25th January 2026) with performers flying across the stage in a magical telling of J.M. Barrie’s classic children’s story.
As Southport launched into its most cultural ever year with a host of exciting new events and festivals, this fantastic community-based production kicked off 2026 in style.
NODA is the UK’s leading amateur theatre membership organisation, existing to celebrate, connect, support and amplify amateur theatre and theatre groups across the UK.
