Series 4: Ep 1: Have you heard of theatre works! and the amazing work they do?

Welcome back to Series 4! To begin this series, this month Holly is in conversation with Sharon Studer, Chair of theatre works!, a charity that provides theatre tickets to disadvantaged children. The charity, theatre works!, has been operating since 2021 and has given or committed to give around 4000 tickets to school children aged 7-16. They target schools and theatres that have the most disadvantaged children; schools must have at least a minimum of 20% Pupil Premium to apply for a grant. Patrons of the charity are Sir Tom Stoppard and Sir Nicholas Hytner.  Sharon and her husband, Graham Beckett, want to bring the joy and wonder of theatre into the lives of children. They believe theatre can have a transformative effect on children’s lives.  If you are interested in learning more and engaging with their work then: Learn more about theatre works! on their website: www.theatreworks.global and through their social media.  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_theatre_works/  Twitter https://twitter.com/_theatre_works Facebook https://www.facebook.com/theatreworks.global
