Wyvern Theatre

Throughout the run of Russian State Ballet and Opera House’s visit at the Wyvern Theatre, front of house volunteers encouraged patrons to donate money in support of local tap dancer Matt Pidgeon and the England tap dancing team. On Monday 4 November, The Russian State Ballet and Opera House performed The Nutcracker; and on Tuesday 5 November, they performed Romeo and Juliet - bucket collections were held after each performance. Since the England tap dancing team are completely self-funded, Matt is currently fundraising for his share of the £25,000 it costs for the team to be able to compete in the World Tap Dancing Championships this December in Germany.
