Amy Dunstall, community fundraiser for the Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity, said: “We are overwhelmed by the interest and support we have had for this project from Aylesbury Waterside Theatre, Buckinghamshire College Group, Buckinghamshire Music Trust and William Harding’s Charity, who are all bringing a wealth of experience and resource to the production.

"But we can’t put on the show without children. There are roles for children from six to 26 – all we ask for is enthusiasm, commitment, and a love of theatre. So please do take this opportunity to be part of a fantastic show.”
