Lottie was given a gold accolade at the IW Youth Theatre awards last month (March).
She won an award for her role as Velma Kelly in Chicago.
The TheatreTrain production also won the award for best principal cast at the ceremony, which coincided with Mother's Day.
The event organisers said: "Congratulations to all our individual award winners – for any performer to receive an award, at least one of our judges has rated their performance as outstanding or better.
"The future of theatre on the island is in excellent hands."
