After a fairly steady stream of entries over the year, by the end of the season, entries for the Glammies suddenly flourished to the point that we are back at last year's level of 11 adult shows! There was a sudden rush of entries to the Youth Glammies too, although these have been mainly in the Drama, rather than the Musical category, which is a real change from past years. All the shows have now been seen, and the Moderators are busy collating final reports for circulation to the companies. Marks will be totalled and final decisions made very soon. As soon as it's possible, shortlists for the acting awards will be available on this site. With all these entries, and with the standard so high, who will pick up the coveted trophies this year? Make sure you're there on the night to find out. Tickets for the Glammies, which are limited in number this year, are available now. Full details of the shows entered and how to buy tickets are available via the Glammies pages. |

Last year's extremely popular tutor Phil Clark (known by many in Cardiff for his many successes at the Sherman Theatre, but with many other strings to his bow) will return, this year joined by Rebecca Gould who has specialised in directing new plays. Until recently she was Associate Director at the Theatre Royal Plymouth, but is currently a Learning Associate at the RSC. The theme of this year's School will be BEING BOLD: Steps Towards Braver Productions. Here's the overview for the week: "So often during short rehearsal periods, amateur theatre companies are forced to work to tight deadlines. The advantage of a week-long summer school is that it allows the artists to experiment with new, challenging and exciting rehearsal techniques that can invigorate a pressured rehearsal period. The course will encourage the artist to be brave and experiment with new rehearsal techniques that could lead to a more ambitious theatre-making process." Discounts are offered to DAW Individual members which means that you can book on to this course for as just £420 - and that includes tuition, accommodation and all meals! For more information: please contact Gary Thomas at Drama Association of Wales, The Old Library, Singleton Road, Cardiff CF24 2ET (T) 029 2045 2200 (E) aled.daw@virgin.net |

| The Drama Association of Wales offers a special service for writers: a script reading service. For only £25 for a full-length play, and £17.50 for a one-act play, you get a critique from an expert with experience in the fields of writing, directing and academia. The written critique you receive is not edited in any way and is anonymous.
Plays receiving a 'rave' critique can be recommended by the service readers to DAW for consideration for publication though DAW does not accept any obligation to publish. |
