We are a group of local parents and residents who run a small theatre group which practice all year round to put on an annual charity Pantomime production. Our Group supported The Teenage Cancer Trust last year with our production of "Snowhite & the 7 stroppy teenagers" and this year we are supporting Momentum Kingston with our production of Peter Pan.

Our children have been working flat out throughout 2010 to rehearse the show which was written, produced and directed by a local drama teacher and 3 weeks before the show, our venue who were supposed to be supporting the charity effort and donating their venue for free for the day of show, suddenly demanded money for the use of the hall. This would have made a huge dent in the money meant for our charity, so it looked as if we would have to cancel. All of the children were hugely dissapointed after working so hard and giving up all of their free time. Our chosen charity Momentum would also have suffered the loss of hundreds of pounds in ticket sales, so after a last minute appeal was sent out amongst the community, Our friends at TS STEADFAST in Kingston (the home of the sea scouts) stepped forward and offered us their venue to hold our production show in. Not only this, they offered us the use of their stage, lights, speaker and sound system and have absolutely saved this charity show. Because of their generousity we are now on track to raise a good amount of funds for Moment-um Kingston on Saturday the 29th January 2011 when the kids take to the stage at 2pm @ 7pm to perform their show "peter Pan"

Tickets for the show are still available for both performances @ £5 and ALL proceeds go to our chosen charity. We would welcome any reporters to come along on the day and take photo's of the cast all ready to perform and enjoy some good swashbuckling fun, but more important than this, we would just love to be able to thank TS STEADFAST for saving our show and making it possible to raise these much needed funds for a fantastic local charity.

Please contact me directly for pictures of the cast (pre-show) as they will not upload through this system.
