St Ives young people’s theatre group, Kidz R Us, was presented with

Pantomime, Best Set and Best Costumes, and were also joint second in
the Best Musical category , for their 2009 pantomime “Robinson
Crusoe & the Pirates”.
They also received the Paul Thornton Trophy for Outstanding Costumes

the Beast”.
Kidz also received three special awards: Ashlee Rhoades was one of
two recipients of The Roy Crosley Award for an outstanding
performance by a young actor aged 18 or under, for his performance
as Lumiere in “Beauty & the Beast”.
And Joe Dann, aged 12, received a special award for his
performances in Kidz productions, including Fat Sam in “Bugsy
Malone” and Nutty Nick in “Robinson Crusoe & the Pirates”.
Kidz R Us also received a special award for their outstanding
UV scene in “Robinson Crusoe & the Pirates”.
Phil Barnett, Chairman of Kidz R Us said “I am absolutely delighted
that Kidz have been given these awards and especially that the
individual achievement of two of our young performers has been
recognised. The hard work all
our youngsters put into their performances is a real credit to them
and a tribute to their commitment and it is great for them to
receive these awards.”
