Story
In August 2017, Pearl Black from Merthyr Tydfil was killed in a tragic accident. She was just shy of her 2nd birthday. Her father had just left a rehearsal for a play we were about to perform in September, when this tragedy occurred. Anthony Bunko and the rest of Gurnwah Productions are now raising funds in memory of Pearl by producing an original play in November 2017 called ' I could have been an Astronaut, if it wasn't for Malachy McAleer'. We aim to sell out the two performances but need to raise funds for production costs. We are a community based project that is not for profit. All the actors, directors and production staff (over 25 people) are all giving of their time to support this cause. Our overall aim, through ticket sales, raffles, donations and advertising is to raise £5000. We estimate that our production costs to be around £1000. Below is a list of the actors taking part, and we are asking for people to 'sponsor an actor' for £50....or give what you can to help us (we are grateful for anything that you or your organisation can give). Please can you state who you would like to sponsor and, as a thank you for your generosity, your name will be acknowledged in the programme. The people of Merthyr are the most generous and caring people there are....please help us in this cause to support the memory of Pearl Black. Thank you in advance.
