FANCY going to the theatre free for a whole year?

You could do if the Theatrical Management Association takes you on as one of its regional panellists for its Theatre Awards.

Each year the TMA appoints 140 enthusiastic members of the public to serve as panellists, assessing the productions that they would normally see as part of their regular theatre-going.

The awards' year runs from September 1, 2004, to August 31, 2005, with panellists asked to send in marks for productions they have seen. All successful applicants will receive a pair of complimentary tickets for each local theatre production they wish to see.

To find out more send an SAE to Awards Panel Applications (M), Awards Office, TMA, 32 Rose Street, London WC2E 9ET or e-mail your name and address to awards@solttma.co.uk
