CURVE NOMINATED FOR ' REGIONAL THEATRE OF THE YEAR' AWARD AT THE STAGE AWARDS 2015

Tomorrow afternoon (January 30) sees Curve go up against Southampton’s Nuffield Theatre and Bath’s Ustinov Studio for the title of Regional Theatre of the Year at The Stage Awards 2015.

Judged by critics from The Stage, the weekly newspaper and website covering theatre and the arts, the awards recognise the venues and individuals that have made a significant contribution to the entertainment industry across the past year.

In shortlisting Curve for the award, the judges commented on the strength of programming at the theatre in 2014, which concluded with the highly praised production of The Sound of Music, directed by former Artistic Director Paul Kerryson. They also highlighted Curve’s commitment to new playwrights through the New Views mentoring scheme, which later saw them stage their work at the Inside Out Festival.
