2009 ITA Finley Awards

The Independent Theatre Association of WA is proud to present community theatre’s annual achievement awards, in recognition of non-professional theatre’s adjudicated productions for 2009. The 35th Annual ITA Finley Awards Ceremony will be held on Saturday January 23, 2010 at the Judith Cottier Theatre, Perth College in Mt Lawley.

The Finley Awards are coordinated by the Independent Theatre Association, which is an umbrella organisation for community theatre in Western Australia. It represents over 60 community or amateur theatres in Western Australia.

Four dedicated ITA adjudicators attend every production entered throughout the year both in metropolitan and regional Western Australia. This year the competition is fierce with 54 productions entered, of those 37 are plays and 17 musicals - a record number of entries. About 10% are from rural clubs.

From humble beginnings in 1975 the Finley Awards have grown into one of the most prestigious events on the community theatre calendar.

Actors, directors, designers and technicians from around the state will attend and celebrate their night of nights. Awards include Best Play, Best Musical, Best Actor/Actress, Best Director, Best Supporting Female/Male, Best Emerging Talent, Best Musical Theatre Performer, Best Vocal Direction, Best Set and Best Costumes.

Finley Co-ordinator Dannielle Ashton says, "It’s going to be an exciting night and great theatrical showcase. This will be the biggest Finley Awards to date."

ITA committee member David Young says “there are lots of patrons of community theatre who aren’t active on stage and they too will be curious to see who takes out the honours”.

Last year’s Finley Award for Best Play was awarded to Deckchairs from Kwinana Theatre Workshop and the Finley Award for Best Musical was awarded to bare, presented by Playlovers in Floreat.

With entertainment from some of the best productions seen in 2009 and an electric atmosphere, if you have ever patronised a community theatre production or have been curious, then don’t miss this night of nights.

Apology to El...

Sorry, El, I am misdirected on this one, so please accept my humble apology, and I shall instead castigate Muzz for his words...@$#$##$#$ PS: Touching on the evil competetive bug that resides in each human bean..my 8 year old son, has been taught by his parents that winning is not the be all of taking part / competing in events such like. That said you should have seen his less than smiley face when his nerd of a dad beat him at tennis on his new Wii..not happy Jan! Woe betide if he gets involved with drama in his later years...the beast that lurks within...for some it sits below the surface, for some way down deep, but its there...lurking, just waiting for an opportunity.. Speaking of opportunity, God I'm gonna be pissed when Bannockburn doesn't even rate a mention, ha!ha! Hee!Hee! time I was going....child to thrash 3-0...oh there is some pleasure in school vacations...not much mind you..roll on February... Grim
