Thanks

They say it takes a village to raise a child; bringing this show to fruition over the past year seems like it has taken a small town. In addition to the cast and creative team, lots of folk have provided invaluable help in a hundred small and large ways:

Tom Carradine, Maureen Duignan, Fay Carradine, Jennifer Nettles, Emma Kerby-Evans, Kerstin at Bromley Little Theatre, Jenny Coleman at Beckenham Theatre Centre, Berry Butler and Nikki Packham at The Miller Centre, Elizabeth Callow, Tony Freitas from O Girasol, The SLT box office, front of house, raffle and bar teams, Bryon Fear, Naomi Liddle, Bex Law, Rory Hacker, Bee and our Theatre Committee rep, Jess Osorio, who has been a tireless support.

Thank you all so much. We couldn’t have done it without you
