Over 150 local children took to the stage earlier this month for 2 sold out performances of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The show at the Waterside Theatre was the Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity’s fastest selling production, with over 2,000 people enjoying a matinee and evening performance, and helping to raise £50,000.
The Charity's CEO Jo Turner says “We are delighted that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory raised such an extraordinary figure. This is a testament to the hard work of our On Stage team made up of a large number of volunteers, who work so hard to create such wonderful shows for our Charity. The money raised will help our nurses to provide the best possible care to patients and their families across Buckinghamshire and its borders. Thank you to everyone who took part in, helped or came to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”
Supported by William Harding’s Charity, Ellesborough Golf Club, Paul and Jennifer Clark and Bucks Radio and sponsored by ASM Metal Recycling, APS Accountancy and George David Estate Agent, the project brought local communities together for a spectacular one-day performance with all proceeds going directly to Florence Nightingale Hospice.
