We now need your help....
Stage Theatre Society – one of the South East’s largest youth theatre groups – celebrated its 18th birthday in 2020. Having worked with over 700 young people on 50 musical productions, today’s STS is very different to the small group which started out in Bredhurst Village Hall all those years ago.
Daniel and Richard set out 18 years ago with a purpose of helping to enrich peoples lives through the arts, and has seen many of its members go on to perform professionally, both on and off of the stage. In addition we have built great confidence and friendships of the people involved, and have taken countless numbers of young people on theatre trips, residential weekends and even holidays abroad.
Every single of one of the adults working for the company, from directors and choreographers, to chaperones, committee members and chefs, are all volunteers, giving up every Sunday to offer young people the chance to take part.
Over the past 18 years we have enjoyed being self-sustaining, and have never been in a position where we need to ask people for help - 2020 has changed this.
We are reaching out to our past and present cast, crew, chaperones, parents, grandparents and friends to help secure the future of Stage Theatre Society for the years to come - building the confidence and futures of the people we work with.
Please join us in making that difference by helping to raise money for us. Every donation will help!
Thankyou so much in advance for your contribution - it means so much to us to be able to continue with the work that we do!
Daniel and Richard.
