Portsmouth New Theatre Royal in for double accolade

8th July 2010

The Portsmouth Festivities and New Theatre Royal have been nominated for honours in the 2010 Arts & Business Awards. The NTR’s redevelopment project with the University of Portsmouth is in line for the Sustained Partnership Award, and the theatre’s former chairman, university vice-chancellor Professor John Craven, has been nominated as Board Member of the Year.

The dual recognition arises from a collaboration between theatre and university that will result in the NTR not only transforming its stage-house but developing offices, rehearsal rooms and a creative learning space on the disused back-lot.
