The annual Prospect Awards in Performing Arts (PAPAs) is an evening that celebrates the phenomenal work produced by our performing arts students over the previous year. This event is always a night of surprises, glamour and glitz as the curtain is drawn on another amazing year.
As well as a number of awards presented to students in a variety of categories, the evening is interspersed with live performances and recorded highlights from the year.
Second year students Ben Ruewell, Annabelle Rutter-Butcher, Max Stevens and Maxim Jennings shared the hosting duties and were fantastic at ensuring the event ran smoothly.
