Shine Theatre Trust

The Class of 2011 Show which ran from 10th to 17th July was a huge success.  35 children took part in a fantastic production based around the songs of Glee!!  Some fantastic voices coming through and great teamwork on stage.  A huge well done to everyone who took part in this production.  You can check out the work of Shine Theatre Group at www.shinetheatregroup.co.uk

Due to the severe weather conditions making access to the hall very dangerous we have had to cancel Shining Stars drama this evening. This was to be our last class for this term so we will have to wish you all a very “MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR” via the website.

South Downs Nurseries and Garden Centre has given a very generous, retrospective, sponsorship of “The Sound of White”; the show staged in Holy Trinity Church, Hurstpierpoint, in December last year.

Instead of charging an entrance fee to the Sussex Heritage Museum, housed at their Hassocks Garden Centre, South Downs ask for donations.  These donations are then given to two carefully selected local charities, Shine Theatre Trust being one of them.

Thank you to all the visitors to the museum who have donated so generously and to the management of Tates Garden Centres for their continuing encouragement and support.

Little snowflakes!

Thanks to everyone who bought Bryan’s fantastic photographs, taken during the Sound of White show in December, he has been able to make a very generous donation to the Trust.  The money will be spent on subsidising Shining Stars summer term.

Thank you, Bryan and all the proud owners of very beautiful photographs.

A big ‘thank you’ to Premiere Picture who decided, instead of sending Christmas cards, to donate the money to charity.  This year the chosen charity is Shine Theatre Trust.

Premiere Picture are based in Brighton and have an office in London.  They are leading film financiers and producers, have a look on their website to see what they are up to at the moment.

…and this story is of great generosity and kindness.

Ditchling artist, Ruth Gaskill has donated the money paid for one of her paintings to Shine Theatre Trust.  The painting was bought at an auction by Simon, the owner of Cafe Murano in Hurstpierpoint High Street.  Do have a look at it next time you are enjoying a coffee in the village.

Thank you Ruth.

Many thanks to the shoppers in the Burgess Hill branch of Waitrose who bought ‘chips’ to support Shine Theatre Trust.  A very welcome cheque arrived during the summer holiday period.  The money will be used to help with the production costs of ‘The Sound of White”; the title of Shine Theatre Group’s Christmas 09 production.

Thank you especially to the person who nominated Shine Theatre Trust to benefit from this innovative scheme – a fantastic idea!

Many thanks to the Haywards Heath and District Canine Society for the very kind donation.

The money will be put towards the production costs of “The Sound of White”, the 2009 Christmas Show to be staged in December by the children of Shine Theatre Group.
