Letchworth Arcadians are celebrating after winning two awards from the National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA).

The musical theatre society were awarded 'best musical' in their region for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, which they performed in June 2023, and also won 'best overall performance' for the same show.

Regional NODA director Scott Welch visited the Arcadians and presented the award certificates and a shield to director David Walker, musical director Hannah Long and choreographer Frances Aylin.

He also stayed to watch the society's rehearsal for their upcoming production of Beauty and the Beast.

The show stars Sophie Walker and Harry Pearce in the lead roles, with costumes designed by Jacqui Maddison.
