It was for its production of A Passionate Woman , which was performed last March.

"I am thrilled that the dedication and talents of all our cast, crew and production team have been recognised at the recent NODA awards."
The youth company, known as DOSYTCo, won best youth production for its version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats, performed in April 2018 .
Chairman Sophie Blanks said: "We are delighted to receive these two awards in recognition of everyone's hard work and commitment to community theatre."
