BE PART OF SOMETHING BIG: RUBBER CHICKEN THEATRE'S 24-HOUR SING-A-THON
Guinness World Record Holders Rubber Chicken Theatre are excited to announce 24 Hours of Song. A non-stop sing-a-thon event helping raise funds for their widening access programme and their upcoming trip to the MTI Junior Theatre Festival in Birmingham this spring.
Singers of all ages will take on their share of the 24-hour stint between 7pm on Thursday, 16th and 7pm on Friday, February 17th at Dunblane Christian Fellowship – where the performing arts group regularly rehearses and runs drama and musical theatre classes.
“This year there are no records to break, but our performing arts family are once again coming together to support a common goal”, said Creative Director, Pamela Mackie. “24 hours is a long time to fill, but our family of resilient performers are no strangers to a challenge.”
The local record breakers gained their Guinness title in 2022 when they made a successful attempt for fastest theatrical production. But this year’s challenge will be one of endurance rather than speed – with a continuous performance, including through the night, by almost 100 singers.
Pamela said: “As we take to the stage this week, we hope the local community will get behind our ambitious fundraiser and support us with donations either in person or online.”
Rubber Chicken Theatre believes that every child should have access to high quality performing arts opportunities regardless of their background or finances and have implemented a policy to ensure that cost is never a barrier.
Pamela said: “Our goal is to provide a supportive and inclusive environment where children from all walks of life can come together to learn, grow and shine. By making performing arts accessible to all, we hope to inspire a new generation of young performers and create a brighter future for everyone.”
Members of the public are welcome to support the performers as they sing their way through the night with back-to-back slots from 7pm on Thursday to 7pm on Friday evening.
Pamela added: “Pop into the building during the challenge to watch the singers in action and show your support for your local performing arts family!”
