We are pleased to announce the names of the 44 drama students who have been nominated to win the annual Spotlight Prize in 2008.
Each nominee has been selected by their CDS drama school as the best male or female actor from their graduating year.
The nominees will now perform at the Spotlight Showcases on 15th and 16th July, to an exclusive VIP audience of 200+ agents, casting professionals and others.
A panel of industry experts will award four prizes based on the performances across two nights:
