A NEWLY formed local charity group, Cause for Drama, is gearing up to dazzle audiences at Letterston Memorial Hall with their debut performance of Cinderella. The troupe, brought together by a shared mission to support a close friend battling Breast Cancer, will stage the pantomime on January 5th at 7 pm, with two additional shows on January 6th at 2 pm and 7 pm.

Established in September, Cause for Drama was born out of a desire to make a positive impact in the face of adversity. The group’s initial goal is to raise funds for the chemo care unit at Withybush Hospital while simultaneously raising awareness about Breast Cancer. Their dedication to the cause is reflected in the tireless efforts put into crafting a high-quality production within a short span.

Members of Cause for Drama, who have previously collaborated in various performances with the Decibelles choir, as well as musical productions for FMTS and FADDS, such as Addams Family and Cats, bring a wealth of experience to the stage. The ensemble is also buoyed by the support of Roccana, a popular local band set to enhance the evening’s entertainment with their musical prowess.

Tristan Mansell, one of the passionate members of the group, shared, “The group has worked tirelessly to ensure that this pantomime is not only entertaining but also of the highest standard. The script is exceptionally funny, promising laughter, singing, and, of course, boos for the villains. It’s a show designed to engage families and leave them with lasting memories.”

Ruth Evans, who takes on the role of Baroness in Cinderella, expressed her excitement, stating, “We can’t believe the show is just a week away! Time seems to fly, especially during the festive season. What better way to conclude the holiday festivities than with a local pantomime, all in aid of a worthy cause.”

The much-anticipated shows are scheduled for January 5th at 7 pm, followed by two performances on Saturday, January 6th, at 2 pm and 7 pm. Tickets are available for purchase, with all proceeds directly contributing to the cause of supporting those undergoing cancer treatment at Withybush Hospital.

Don’t miss this opportunity to join Cause for Drama in spreading joy, laughter, and support for Breast Cancer awareness.
