Great Help for the Forum From “Chatroom”
I spotted Sally Messham and Nick Brown in this clip from the Northern Echo recently trying to drum up more support for the Forum Music Centre which has prompted me to update their “Stop the Clock Productions” success. Jodie tells me that the 3 night run of `Chatroom` has raised over £1100 for the fund to help the Forum to stay open . I think that is excellent, as was the performance, that I know many of you went to see.
All the actors, Matthew Lewis, Sally Messham, Nick Brown, Charlotte Pybus and Jodie Taibi gave equally strong performances and kept their audience riveted throughout. The story was based upon online bullying and manipulation and Jodie had directed it with flair. It was lovely to come to an event, which was full of Stagecoach staff and students but which I had had no hand in, apart from tickets help on the door. It gave it a whole new perspective.
You made me very proud. Very well done indeed and I`m sure the Forum is very grateful.
The Forum is having an auction of promises soon (end of the month I think). I have donated a year`s membership of an Early stages class to help them out in the fundraising stakes. If you have an Early stages aged child then you should enquire of the Forum about how to take part because you could bag yourself a real bargain price and help a good cause into the bargain. The Forum`s number is 01325 363135
