We’re over the moon to receive three nominations for this year’s #WOSAwards! 🤩 @whatsonstage.bsky.social

Our co-pro of KENREX with Aria Ents is up for Best Studio Production, and our revival of The Crucible is nominated for Best Direction and Best Play Revival.

Huge congratulations to both shows 👏
