Awards
Awards for Excellence
SMS has introduced an Award Scheme for each show.
This is to recognise and encourage those who go the extra mile either as performers or behind the scenes.
The names of the winners will be published in all show programs.
The Awards were first presented following the last performance of “Bye Bye Birdie” on the 11th of September, 2004
Awarded to a cast, crew or production team member for outstanding contribution to the production, perhaps by continually promoting both the show and Society in a positive way.
Winners are chosen by a cast vote.

The Phillip Jeffrey Award is dedicated to the memory of our dear friend, Phillip Jeffrey, a bright young talent who sadly passed away in 2010 during The Songs from Stage to Screen season. In his honour we created this award, which is awarded to a cast member who has participated in 3 consecutive shows and who has shown continual growth in performance ability, and the willingness to improve through effort.
