A musical is coming to Worthing and entertainment doesn’t get bigger than this. ‘The Grand Rehearsal’ promises to be big fun with music and dancing, where the audience is part of the show – a bit of drama, sing-alongs, dancing and great audience participation!
The show, which will be fun for all the family, will be on at the Emmanuel United Reformed Church, St Michael’s Road, Worthing, on Thursday 22 March at 7.15pm, and then Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 March at 4.00pm. Tickets cost £6 for adults, and £3 for children. You can book your tickets over the phone by calling 01903 218444, or online at www.wchp.org.uk/event/the-grand-rehearsal
All the proceeds from ‘The Grand Rehearsal’ will be split between two charities: Care for Veterans, which provides care and rehabilitation services to disabled ex-Service personnel; and Worthing Churches Homeless Project, which provides accommodation, support and other services to people who are homeless.
Elizabeth Baxter, Head of Fundraising and Marketing at Care for Veterans, said: “We are very grateful to the organisers of The Grand Rehearsal; it is very kind of them to undertake this event for us. The money raised will be very well received by both charities, and go towards those we care for.”
