We’re delighted to offer our fellow competitors a hand alongside other Orkney clubs.

We know just how stressful it can be transporting heavy scenery across the country, and it’s always brilliant to see the “community” in SCDA shine bright! ✨ 🎭

"The show must go on" say those competing in this week's SCDA festival as Orkney's drama community pulls together to help visiting teams who will be arriving in the county without their scenery.
