“We are over the moon to be shortlisted for this, one of the sector’s most prestigious awards, for the second year running. We are immensely proud of the productions that stood out for the judges – some of which are going on tour in 2025 due to popular demand – so this recognition of our achievements means a great deal and we thank the whole Sherman team for all their hard work.”
Chief Executive Julia Barry added….
