BREAKING NEWS TO BEGIN 2026! Castle Newnham's 4SIXTEEN is 'ROCKING THE BOAT' all the way to the NODA Regional Awards! We are beyond excited to announce that Guys and Dolls has been nominated for BEST YOUTH PRODUCTION at the 2025 East Region NODA Awards! This follows our incredible run at the Local District 2 Awards, where we won Best Director and earned nominations for Best Choreography and Best Duo. Since those awards were in open categories alongside productions from across the entire local amateur dramatics scene, we are especially proud of our cast and crew for being recognised at such a high level - against productions featuring adults in the cast. Huge congratulations to our talented pupils and dedicated staff. Next stop: The regional awards in March!
