The Prospect Awards in Performing Arts (PAPAs) were recently presented in the Prospect Theatre, an evening celebrating the achievements of the academic year within the performing arts and drama department. The glitz, glamour and glitterati were out in force, as the students dressed up for a sensational and uplifting evening, recognising this hugely talented and inspirational year group.
14 awards were given during the evening, driven by a fantastic master of ceremonies, second year student Max Fulham. The moments and memories of an astronomical year were marked and the hugs and tears at the end of the evening were a testament to what a wonderful group staff had the pleasure of teaching over the past two years.
Student Bethany King commented, "I've had such an amazing time on the course and this evening has been a brilliant way to end our two years." Darcy Burgess also remarked, "To be in a room of such amazing and talented people was awesome, it's like another family. Well done everyone!"
Matt Sheppard, Senior Curriculum Manager for Theatre and Drama said, "Never before has a PAPAs evening reached such amazing heights, the talents so raw, the commitment so complete and the passion for the subject so intense. This is one that will live long in the memory. Our best wishes to all outgoing second years, we will really miss you."
