I’ve been asked to post this, please share if you can:

‘Hello,

I hope you’re well. I’m currently organising a performance event at the Masque Theatre (Latimer Arts College, Barton Seagrave) on the 18th–19th of July 2026, and I am looking for talented dancers and singers who may be interested in taking part.

This event is being held to raise money for The Lullaby Trust, in memory of my brother, who sadly passed away from SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). It’s a cause that is very important to me, and I’m hoping to bring together passionate performers to create something meaningful and impactful.

If this is something you would be interested in, I would love to hear from you and discuss further details.

Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon.
Kind regards,
Chloe’
