Maitland Repertory Theatre and its young adult company, Reamus Youth Theatre, are hosting a fundraiser for Tammy Tomkins on Saturday 27th July from 7.30pm onwards. For more information about Tammy and her family, please see this moving story in the Maitland Mercury.

Reamus will be performing Shakespeare’s much loved comedy Much Ado about Nothing. This production is directed and adapted by Brian Randell, and features a dedicated cast of young actors, many of whom have spent months working towards their first public appearance. Randell describes it as a “colourful, vibrant, funny but also focussed show” and praises his young cast’s professionalism. “It’s a chance to come out and support the youth. I mean, these guys spend two to three months, two to three nights a week, rehearsing this show”.

All tickets are $15 and can be purchased via Maitland Repertory Theatre’s online booking system or by calling Maitland Visitors’ Centre on 02 4931 2800 during business hours.
