Theatre raises curtain on £3,000 donation to charities


A spokesperson for Rotherham Theatres said: “We are pleased to announce, with the help of our audiences at our pantomime Robin Hood, we managed to raise over £3,200 to help the Mayor's (Cllr Sheila Cowen's) chosen charities – The Rotherham Hospice Trust, Help 4 Homeless Veterans, The Common Lands of Rotherham Charity, and Roundabout Ltd.
“This year we were particularly pleased to be able to support The Rotherham Hospice Trust after our dear friend and colleague Angela Gardner passed away in December last year, after a short battle with cancer.
