I have attached the Sky Press Release to this email, along with a photo of Liz Light on the red carpet with Stage2 Alumni and Board Member Chloe Blake, who is now the Executive Assistant to the Director of the National Theatre and who nominated Liz Light for this award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were also delighted to discover that Liz wasn&#8217;t the only person connected to Stage2 to win an award last night. The winner of the Comedy Award, Sam Nicoresti is former alumni of Stage2 (and caught up with Liz after the event) alongside one of the actors featured in the clip for Bad Lads from the nominated theatre company Graeae.Also on a slightly more tenuous note; Reverend Richard Coles, who performed at the evening, is on record as saying there was a child on Gogglesprogs who reminded him of himself when he was younger&#8230;  &nbsp;who is also one of our ex-members Joel Fleming!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Daisy Wilkes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Production Manager | Stage2 Youth Theatre<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We at Bfame are delighted to share the following news:- Good afternoon,Yesterday at the prestigious Sky Arts Awards held at The Roundhouse in Camden, Stage2&nbsp;Company Founder and General Manager Liz [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3614,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2026-2027"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bfame.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3610","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bfame.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bfame.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bfame.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bfame.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3610"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/bfame.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3610\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3618,"href":"https:\/\/bfame.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3610\/revisions\/3618"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bfame.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bfame.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bfame.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bfame.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
