Attracting a paying audience of approximately 100 people, the play raised £151.87 for their selected charity "Help for Heroes" and attracted coverage from the Worthing Herald (see article below). A cheque for the donation was despatched to "Help for Heroes" and an acknowledgement letter and certificate is winging its way back to the girls and the school, thanking them for their support. Alice and Florence would like to say a big thank you to the 24 member cast, which comprised of drama students from the school, and all those who helped to make the evening a success, especially the two tea ladies on the night, Mrs West and Mrs Scales! 470_14/05/2013 Tue, 14 May 2013 14:14:14 GMT http://www.davisongirlsschool.co.uk/index.asp?display=news&newsID=469 We are very proud that Davison musicians and singers have been invited to take part in this year's Skoolfest gig at the Worthing Pavillion Theatre on 22nd May at 7pm.
