SABOS aims to advance public education through the study and performance of musical drama. It seeks to involve and educate local youth in musical theatre, bring performances to the community - especially for the elderly and those with special needs - and support other charitable organisations.

Story

Everyone knows that Matilda loves to read - and we love Matilda!

We can't wait to put on this classic show with our under-18 Youth Members. It's going to be fantastic fun - and everyone at SABOS is very excited!

But putting on a show is always expensive - and to get the best sound, lights, props, set, costumes, etc, we need some help to bolster our funds.

To help with fundraising, the cast and crew are aiming to read a minimum of 19,880 pages during the 5 weeks it will take us to rehearse and perform the show (because Roald Dahl's book was first published in 1988). It's going to take teamwork and a love of literature - both of which are values close to Matilda's heart.

Our performance dates are the 11th/12th July and we'd love you to support our Youth Members (and their production team) as they tackle this reading challenge. Anything you can give would be hugely appreciated!

Thank you!
