Seaford Musical Theatre Juniors (SMTJ) are reeling from the news that they have reached the finals of the 2014 Epic Awards as they are one of over sixty thousand voluntary arts and crafts groups providing regular opportunities for local engagement across the UK and Republic of Ireland.
The Epic Awards were set up in 2010 by Voluntary Arts, an organisation that works to promote, support and champion the voluntary cultural sector and the shortlisted groups are being recognised and spotlighted for the skill, innovation and hard work that goes into their activities.
SMTJ offers performance based learning at minimal, or no, cost and supports community collaboration and awareness, offering volunteering awards for young members and encouraging youth inclusion in all aspects of the group.
The overall winners will be announced at a reception in Glasgow in February but members of the public can still vote for the Peoples Choice Award and support SMTJ, who are based at the Barn Theatre in Seaford, by going to http://bit.ly/19g2axR
