Everyone at the Queen’s Theatre is rejoicing after winning the Havering Business and Education Partnership Award at the Havering Business Awards. The Education and Outreach Department’s extensive work with schools across the borough was duly rewarded at the glittering gala evening organised by Havering Council and hosted by comedian Hugh Dennis, held at Maylands Golf and Country Club, Harold Park in September. The Queen’s beat off stiff competition from Abbs Cross School & Art College and the Rose Office, Havering College. The Theatre’s thriving Education and Outreach programme works with local schools and young people, producing four Theatre-in-Education tours to schools throughout East London and Essex. Earlier in the year, judges named the Theatre a finalist in two categories: the Business Education Partnership award and the Family, Leisure and Tourism award. The Awards, which have been running for four years, reward excellence and innovation within local businesses. Queen’s Theatre Administrative Director Thom Stanbury beamed: “We are absolutely thrilled to have won this award. Our Education and Outreach Department have worked very hard throughout the year to get young people actively involved in and inspired by theatre and the arts, so this is testament to all their efforts.”
