Local theatre company Astravaganza Entertainment today announced its support for the Southport Dance Emergency Fund, which was set up to help the families affected by the recent tragic stabbing attack at a dance class in Southport at their upcoming production of Annie the Musical at the Playhouse, Whitley Bay.
As a company that promotes the power of the arts, Astravaganza Entertainment was devastated by this attack against the dance community.
“The dance world is a wonderful community of people who gain such joy from dancing. It’s impossible to comprehend what has happened,” said Liam Glendinning, Director of Astravaganza Entertainment.
To show their support, Astravaganza will be holding bucket collections and raffle ticket sales during performances from 28 – 31 August at the Playhouse Whitley Bay to raise as much money as possible for the families impacted.
Liam added:
“Theatre is a place where people can express themselves freely without fear. Now more than ever, we need to come together and spread love, not hate. We hope our community will join us in helping the Southport dance families through the power of art and generosity.”
Tickets for Annie are available now at bit.ly/Astra-Annie. Donations can also be made directly at gofundme.com/f/SouthportDanceEmergencyFund.
