The 45th annual Robert Finley Awards were held last month at the Perth’s State Theatre Centre.

In attendance was a very proud director Adam Salathiel, arm in arm with two of the stars of his latest production, Oliver!, whom both received a nomination for their performances. Georgia McGivern, who starred as Nancy, received a nomination for Best Actress in a Musical, and Mark Thompson received a nomination for Best Actor in a Musical, for the role of Fagin.

The awards are run by the Independent Theatre Association. Judges throughout the year travel around Western Australia, and adjudicate community independent theatre productions.

This year, we are very proud to announce that Georgia won the award for Best Actress in a Musical!

The awards ceremony was a night enjoyed by all. We wish to congratulate everyone who was nominated. For a full list of the awards and certificates won, head to ITA's website: www.ita.org.au.
