Just a heads up, as Theatre Bubble likes to keep you up to date with all the latest theatrical news. It may be a bit of a surprise perhaps, but we hear that The Stage Debut Awards 2023 are going to be a load of fun, because drag artist, songstress and performer Divina De Campo is the host of The Stage Debut Awards 2023, in association with Ambassador Theatre Group.
The Stage Debut Awards is the only dedicated awards recognising breakthrough theatre talent. Taking place on October 1st 2023, the prestigious event brings together the previous 12 months’ most exciting and emerging performers and creatives in a special ceremony celebrating their outstanding professional debuts.
Divina (here photgraphed by Grace Lewis) is currently performing in the nationwide tour of The SpongeBob Musical.
Since competing in the very first season of RuPaul’s UK Drag Race in 2019 she has starred in a series of major theatrical productions, most recently enjoying critical acclaim cast as Mary Sunshine in Chicago and also in her award-winning role in the revival of cult musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch so she is well acquainted with a diverse and creative theatre scene.
Divina is quoted as saying: “I am so proud and honoured to be hosting The Stage Debut
Awards this year because they really do shine a vital light on those at the start of
their careers. This awards ceremony gives an important platform to the breakthrough
talent in the industry and it lets the rest of us know they’re coming for us! I can’t wait
to celebrate with all the deserved nominees on the night.”
Alistair Smith, The Stagae editor seems thrilled with this glamourous host, as he said “Known to millions for their appearances on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, we can’t wait to have Divina De Campo hosting.’
