Glastonbury and Street Musical Comedy Society (GSMCS) is waving the flag for mid-Somerset at a national association awards night this spring after being nominated for best musical.

The society, which this year celebrates its 90th birthday, has been nominated at the National Operatic and Dramatic Association's SW awards for its production of The Addams Family.

The show, directed by West End choreographer and former Street resident Andrew Wright, wowed crowds at Strode Theatre last April, and could be crowned best musical against 16 other shows from across the South West.

Laura Hyde, chairman of GSMCS, said: "This is really exciting news to be nominated among so many other great shows from across the region.

"The Addams Family was a huge show for us, and it's great to even be receiving nomination recognition - if we grab the top prize then that will just be the icing on the cake. We're keeping everything crossed."

The awards will be announced at a dinner in Plymouth on May 9.

But before that, GSMCS is staging its next spring show, The Full Monty, at Strode Theatre, Street, from March 31 until April 4. Tickets can be bought online here, or by calling: 01458 442846.
