Ordinary People doing Amazing Things


 



'He’s Behind You……' 

 
Cast of Cinderella
 

On Tuesday 30th November a large number of people braved the cold and snowy weather to watch a performance of Cinderella at Worcester's Swan Theatre.

For the second year running the theatre director has allowed Worcester Lions to take 200 disadvantaged adults and children to watch their technical dress rehearsal. 2010's audience comprised groups of elderly, disabled, young carers and women and children from Women's Aid as well as a group from the YMCA.

Despite several empty seats due to the inclement weather there was a great deal of audience participation in the brilliantly written and performed show, with several excited voices shouting 'he's behind you' at appropriate moments and 4 brave children who delighted everyone by getting on stage to sing a verse of 'the wheels on the bus'.

We are very grateful to our friends at The Swan for allowing us to organise this event and to the cast who came into the foyer and mingled and posed for photographs with delighted children. We very much hope they will allow us to attend again next year.

Thanks also to Droitwich and Malvern Lion Clubs who arranged groups of local people to attend and also helped on the day.

Special thanks to Shakespeare Lions who gave us the idea!
