Performers to take the stage for shows in memory of much-loved Warwick girl

Raise the Roof was formed last year to raise funs for Birmingham Children’s Hospital, which is the charity dedicated by her parents to the memory of in memory of 11-year-old Annabel Greenhalgh from Warwick Gates, who died suddenly in October 2022.

The company’s ethos is to give the opportunity for all to be involved in many capacities regardless of experience.

From acting to prop making and so much more, the skills needed and taught by our volunteer industry professionals are not only fun, but are essential, to create a team that comes together to celebrate the life of Annabel and to support individuals who knew and miss her dearly.

Director and writer Amelia Webster said: “Annabel loved the performing arts, her friends and living her life to the full.

"We come together as a company to do all of this, to remember who she was, what she loved and to cherish her memory.

“Performing in local historical sites and places of interest in the area Annabel lived her life cut tragically short, is our way of giving back to the community and future generations.

"We are privileged to live with these amazing sites on our doorsteps.

"We take the community and give them an experience of a lifetime, not only visiting but being the stars of a show where so many have performed before.

"Equal opportunities are vital to us and for a post covid community, the experience to come together as a team is thrilling and very moving to be a part of.”

This year’s show is based on the classic story the Elves and the Shoemaker, it has been given a pantomime make over, brand new plot and twists and new songs.

Performances will take place at Warwick Castle on November 6 and 7 the Royal Pump Rooms in Leamington on November 9.
