Spotlights Musical Theatre Group's (SMTG) MAKE "FANTASTIC" DONATION TO YOUTH MUSIC
The Spotlights Musical Theatre Group (SMTG) was able to give £587 to the Alice Gross Youth Music Memorial Fund as a result of generous donations from its audiences at their latest show "My Fair Lady" which they recently performed at Papplewick School. The show attracted capacity audiences who were able to enjoy a "free bar" and many of them used the opportunity to donate to the charity.
Alice's memorial fund is devoted to helping children in deprived circumstances get a music education and Robert Carter, Spotlight's charity contact, was bowled over by people's kindness and generosity. "That’s a fantastic total", he said. "Thank you so much for contributing so generously to Alice’s Memorial Fund for Youth Music – it is hugely appreciated. And thank you as well for inviting me – you put on a marvellous show which I enjoyed immensely. I was humming the songs for the rest of the weekend!"
Spotlights main purpose is to raise money for charities by performing good musical theatre and so far this year the group have donated £837 in total to the fund. It will continue to do so from their forthcoming Autumn and Christmas concerts.
The group's next show is "Let's Face The Music", a concert of songs from musicals of the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s to be performed at the Carnation Hall on October 13, and 14th at 730pm and also on the 14th at 2.30pm. Tickets cost £10 and can be bought from the box office by calling 01344 874177.
