A group of performers from across Warwick are taking to the stage for three special shows in memory of a much-loved girl who died suddenly and unexpectedly in 2022.

'A Doorway to the Stars', a magical mixture of singing, dancing and acting, will be staged at Myton Upper School Hall in Warwick in memory of 11-year-old Annabel Greenhalgh.

Proceeds from the show will go to Annabel's parents' chosen charities, the Birmingham Children's Hospital, where Annabel received treatment, and The Fluency Trust, who help young people with a stammer.

Amelia Fewtrill, who wrote 'A Doorway to the Stars', which has led to the formation of Raise the Roof Theatre Company, said: "We are a small group of performers, professional and amateur, across all age groups, from the local community, all coming together for this important cause.

"We'd love as many people as possible to come and enjoy our show, remember Annabel and help raise funds for two worthy causes."

Donna Bothamley, head of wills and probate at sponsors Blythe Liggins Solicitors, said: "A Doorway to the Stars promises to be a fitting tribute to Annabel and we are so pleased to see how the community has come together to support this event.

"We're sure it will raise plenty of money for the charities that played such an important part of Annabel's life."
