Do you like going to the theatre? Do you have a background in amateur dramatics - be it directing, acting or backstage? Could you put your opinions into words? If you can answer yes to all these questions - I'd love to hear from you.

The Curtain Call Awards team is looking for more reviewers to join them from January. So many groups have invited us to see their shows this year that we need more critics with a keen interest in theatre to help review them. Ideally, we would like to hear from people who are not closely connected to any local amateur groups themselves.

We always aim to send two reviewers to each show and a reviewer is required to see at least one show a fortnight, sometimes two. As well as an interest in the theatre, you must be able to write 150 words for the newspaper by 7am the following morning and, of course, you will get paid for the review.
