On Friday 27 January, Henry Douthwaite, an actor performing at the Mumford Theatre in The Secret Garden, paid a visit to St Faith's school in Cambridge. Henry had attended the school himself during his childhood spent in Cambridge and was really pleased to showcase what the Mumford Theatre had to offer.
He was given a tour of the school and spent the afternoon interacting with several classes of enthusiastic children. Caroline Walshe, Marketing Officer at St Faith's said: "Thank you very much for arranging for Henry to visit St Faith's. It was lovely to meet Henry, and he enjoyed his return visit, the first time he had been back in 20 years! He met our headmaster, Nigel Helliwell, and then spent time in a couple of Drama lessons. The children had all sorts of interesting questions for him, and they ended the session with some group games."
Links like this will, hopefully, encourage a new generation of theatre-goers to explore what the Mumford Theatre has to offer - right on their doorstep!
