We are so happy to announce that we have awarded a grant to The High Green Musical Theatre Group. The group formally known as The High Green Amateur Operatic Society was formed on in January 1948, with the first production being “The Dogs of Devon”.
Now they have around 23 cast members ranging in age from 7 years, to their oldest member, Harvey who is 99 years young and will be 100 in November.
They perform 2 shows a year, they rehearse, make costumes and perform in a small 96 seat theatre in High Green Sheffield.
Jan, one of our volunteers, has been lucky enough to see three of their performances;
“Each one has been amazing, they put their heart and soul into each one and I will be going to the Christmas pantomime again this year.”
The grant we gave will be spent on paying for their pianist and musical director for rehearsals, this allow them to have live music at performances and rehearsals. They are also looking for new members over the age of 18 to join them for their next production of Cinderella. If you would like more information please contact their secretary Laura Hall on info@hgmtg.co.uk or give her a call on 07533 536311.
