North East theatre school raises £1,800 for St Oswald's Hospice with sell-out shows
Northumberland and Newcastle theatre students have raised £1800 for charity following sell-out performances of an original musical.
Over 270 children aged between three to 18 took to the stage at the Peoples Theatre in Heaton over to perform an original musical medley called Flick.
Students attend dance and musical theatre classes at Jill Errington Theatre School (JETS) and attend classes in Benton, Ponteland, Stamfordham and Dinnington.
After three sell-out shows, the children have raised a massive £1800 for the Children’s Hospice at St Oswalds Hospice in Gosforth.
Jill Errington said: “We chose the children hospice because of the amazing service they provide to local children who need to squish a lifetime of experiences into a short life."
On June 3, the principle cast visited the hospice for a tour and too see where and how the donation will be spent.
Jill added: “It was a fantastic opportunity to see the staff, some of the children and the facilities they offer the children there.”
