A HUGE THANK YOU to our lovely audiences, who filled the seats and the Arts Centre and supported our production of COME FROM AWAY!

Your comments have been so lovely! And did you know, we managed to raise some important funds for CALMS (A charity that supports children & their families, who are living with cancer and leukaemia) - thanks to your generosity!

Coming NEXT - & YOU are ALL invited (on stage, or as a member of our audience!) We will keep you posted on performance date and venue!

In November 2025 - Some of our Chocolate members put on a pantomime, written by Paul Greenhood & Fran Fran Whittock (directed by Fran Whittock and Toby Kewen).

During the event, Helen Good and the rest of the cast & crew members created a bar and a raffle to raise funds for an important, local charity. All proceeds made were sent to the charity and today we received this letter of thanks:

Hi Michaela,
That's amazing, thank you. Helen (or Nurse Helen as we know her) had mentioned to me that she had nominated our charity.
We're very grateful for the donation from the proceeds of the raffle and bar from your panto.

Please pass on my thanks to all the cast & crew.
The donation will support families in the Swindon and surrounding areas.

Kind regards
RICHARD CROWLEY
Chairman & Trustee
The CALM.
Thank you to EVERYONE who participated and to those of you who purchased a drink or a raffle ticket ❤
