Our latest musical evening took place about a month ago, so it's high time for a proper summary of the event!
Musical Anonymous introduced a cast of characters sharing their life stories in a support group session dedicated to musical theatre addicts (any resemblance to actual events would be almost coincidental). Navigating the toll that a packed rehearsal schedule can take on family life, alongside the very real hardships, and dents to the bank account, that come with a musical addiction, each character gradually began to find the positive in their passion, helped along by newcomer Jamie. Ultimately, their journey led them to embrace their inner theatre child and, in doing so, discover a newly found community that felt very much like family.
The directors, cast, and crew were absolutely delighted to perform to nearly full capacity audiences, and thrilled to share the fruits of six months of hard work with an audience that clearly appreciated every moment. The reactions were wonderful to hear!
Over the course of both performances, donations raised allowed us to present the Coffee Foundation with around CHF 1,270. The Coffee Foundation is a Switzerland-based non-profit whose mission is to break down the stigma surrounding mental health by fostering open, non-judgmental conversations and creating safe spaces where people feel empowered to seek help and support.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in bringing this production to life. It truly felt like a home away from home for cast, crew and audiences alike.
