Sean Bean

A SURPRISE announcement really made the night for young members of a Parkgate theatre group.

At their third anniversary awards night, held at the Fitzwilliam Arms Hotel, Parkgate, STEPS Productions’ members were told that actor Sean Bean has agreed to be their patron.

The news - received by telephone - just added to the celebrations of the young people, who in three years have staged sell-out productions AND raised thousands of pounds for charity.

Twenty-one year old Ash White is the producer/director of STEPS, and offers seven to 19 year olds the chance to shine on stage.

From the first show ‘Dancing through Life’ in 2009, the group went on to perform cabarets, and the following year a sell-out debut musical ‘Boogie Nights’.

There were further performances throughout 2010, and last year a charity concert for the late Rawmarsh soldier James Leverett raised £1,700 for his partner who was due to have his baby.
