A South Wales insurer is sponsoring a local youth
theatre
at Port Talbot's Princess Royal Theatre.
Swansea based insurer Diamond, which specialises in
motor
insurance for women, is sponsoring Port Talbot youth theatre's performance
of Oliver this year. The
show will run from the 25th to the 27th October,
and will feature up to 60 children on stage.
The
sponsorship by Diamond comes from a fund established
by the company's chief executive, Henry Engelhardt. The fund
provides
financial support for staff that are involved with local organisations.
Mr Engelhardt said,
"Many of our staff are involved
with organisations in the community, and as a large local employer, we
try to help whenever we can."
Joanne Grey 14, who's father Paul, works in Diamond's Sales
department, will be performing in Oliver. Joanne has been a playing member
at the youth theatre for the last two
years.
Diamond's sponsorship will aid with the running of the
show costs, which have to be met by the
youth theatre.
Tickets to see Oliver cost £5.50 and are available
from Port Talbot's Princess
Royal Theatre. Performances begin at 7pm.
