Hitchin Thespians Social and Fundraising Commiee present
Produced by Sarah Bailes, Holly Böhme and Caroline Bonja
Hitchin Thespians is a registered charity. Number 1005332 Welcome!
This production of Gotta Dance evolved from a simple desire to dance!
Hitchin Thespians has a strong tradition of dancing and we missed the big dance shows which are often too ex- pensive to put on nowadays.
Our aims were to retain existing, develop new and bring past dancers all together; to encourage others to choreograph, try new dance types as well as show off their skills and talent, but mainly to have fun! It has been quite a reunion! We have thoroughly enjoyed putting tonight’s show together and hope that you will enjoy watching it.
All proceeds raised this evening will go to a Woodside Hall Lighting and Sound Equipment Fund, specifically to improve the technical quality of our productions at Woodside and hopefully encourage others to use the hall.
Thank you for supporting us,
Caroline, Holly and Sarah
