We believe that the creative arts in theatre has the power to bring hope and joy and the world needs it more this Christmas season than ever before so we are asking you to help us.

Every year we create a new Christmas production; but in light of COVID-19 and the touring restrictions theatres are facing this year, we are re-creating Hark! A Nativity Story into a new live theatre film for everyone to enjoy in their churches and homes.

Hark! will be re-imagined for this Christmas season, filmed live in a theatre with a full cast and live band. Blending original and festive music with dynamic storytelling, song and dance routines, Hark! will bring joy into churches and homes this Christmas with comic and heart-warming entertainment.

This is an opportunity to provide an exciting creative element to churches Christmas programmes that cannot be cancelled and which brings joy whilst sharing the familiar Saltmine Christmas Heart with added wow factor.

It will cost us around £9,000 to re-create Hark! with a bigger cast rehearsing, lighting design, a new soundscape and original music being produced, directing, set and costume design and filming with a production team to name but a few. Can you help us cover these costs?
