Celebrations is a group of people with learning difficulties who perform musical/theatrical shows at events and fundraising concerts.
The group, which was formed in 2001 by a lady called Caroline McGonigle, currently meets weekly at the Carlton Road Resource centre Sidcup Kent to enjoy music and to rehearse their current show. This dedication and the guidance of Caroline Walker, the Group’s present Director, has produced work of a consistently high standard. The Group have performed at a number of South East London venues, including the Ashcroft Theatre Croydon, and the Mick Jagger Centre Dartford, which has been the venue for their last three annual musical shows.
Celebrations is available to perform at suitable shows and community venues and to further integration in the Community. In the last year they have performed at a Tsunami Fundraising concert in Bexley, presented Carols at a number of Old Folks homes in the Borough and participated in a concert with Children at Warren Road School, Orpington. The current work of the Group is rehearsing their September 2006 show at the Mick Jagger Centre. The theme of the show is London and it will be performed on Saturday 23rd September. A DVD of last years show is available through this website price £8.50 inc postage and packing.
The Group are always keen to welcome new members of all skills and ability. Caroline is also grateful for support in the form of donations, fundraising and assistance.
