'WHO'S OSCAR IS IT ANYWAY?'

An Evening of Music and Comedy from the Golden Age of Hollywood

Saturday 5th June 2010

Preparations for a sizzling evening of music and comedy are full speed ahead at Firle Place.  A performance of “Whose Oscar Is It Anyway?” from the Golden Age of Hollywood will be performed on 5th June to raise funds for local hospices.  Firle Place, the home of the Gage family for over 500 years, is an exquisite country estate nestled under the Downs and guests are invited to picnic in the gardens before the performance which will take place in the beautiful 18th century indoor riding school.  The sparkling cast has performed extensively in theatre, film, radio and prime time television and the black-tie evening includes a thirty-minute complimentary champagne interval said to be "the best drinks party in the Sussex social calendar" which has generously sponsored by local chartered accountants and tax advisers, Creaseys.

Fabulous raffle prizes are also on offer.  In keeping with the Oscars theme the star prize is a Hollywood package including two return tickets to Los Angeles generously donated by Virgin Atlantic Airlines.  Renowned Sussex sculptor Mary Cox is again kindly giving one of her coveted works. To purchase raffle tickets please call Patti Whitaker on 01825 890075. The evening is expected to raise over £50,000 for the nine hospices that serve the people of East Sussex.  FESH Chairman Kathy Gore says “The enormous support we receive from local people is evidence of their appreciation of the invaluable work our hospices do”.
Tickets cost £60 (priority seating) and £50.  To book please contact Mrs Dianne Steele by telephone on 01435 813630 or by email at disteele@talktalk.net.
Sponsorship and programme advertising opportunities are available. If interested please call Kathy Gore on 01825 890494
