Story

As part of Blyth Music & Theatre Company's performances of The Addams Family, our very own John Paul Noel Hofilena who is playing the part of Fester in the show has decided to shave his head for charity in order to raise money for the victims of the atrocities in Ukraine.

Originally, JP was going to wear a bald-cap, but has decided to take the plunge and make a difference for a worthy cause.

The Addams Family runs at the Phoenix Theatre, Blyth between 8th and 12th of March 2022 - the head shave will happen before the opening night, live video will be posted to our social media accounts.
