EVENT THE SOUND OF MUSIC SING A LONG CINEMA NIGHT

VENUE STORM CINEMA, THE ODYSSEY, BELFAST

DATE Thursday 25th February 2010

TIME 8 p.m.

Have you ever gone to a musical and wanted to burst into song? When you were little did you want to be a von Trapp child? Now is your chance!

The Belfast based charity Tuesday's Child is hosting a sing-a-long cinema night at Storm Cinemas in The Odyssey, Belfast, this coming Thursday night, featuring the original of the 1965 Rodgers and Hammerstein classic The Sound of Music, starring the fabulous Julie Andrews and Christopher Plumber.

Fancy dress is optional, however, nuns, nannies, goat herders, yodellers, naval captains, Austrians and children are all very welcome. So come along in your wimple or lederhosen and sing-a-long to: Maria, My Favourite Things, Sixteen Going on Seventeen, The Lonely Goatherd, Do-Re-Mi, Edelweiss and many more. If singing is not for you, just sit back and enjoy the original movie in glamorous technicolour on the big screen.

Proceeds from the event will go to Tuesday's Child feeding programme for children in Gaza. Orla Sheehan, from Tuesday's Child, who visited Gaza again last month said, "The children of Gaza are completely surrounded by a wall of steel, they are traumatised and hungry and thousands remain homeless. The tragedy is that 54 percent of the population in the strip are children, with no voice, who are trapped in a tiny strip of land.

Tickets for the event cost £10 and are available from the online store at www.tuesdayschild.org.uk or from Good Vibes Record Shop Winetavern Street.

No goats permitted.

Welcome drink and song book is also provided.

Audience participation is encouraged and props will be provided.
The film is U certificate so suitable for all ages and a fun night for all the family.

Tuesday’s Child gives 100 percent of proceeds.

Country Spotlight: Democratic Republic of Congo... The recent civil war in eastern DRC has devastated many aspects of life and children are among those most affected. A population size equivalent to that of Ireland, north and south, died either through direct conflict or displacement. Mulongo is a school catering for about 2000 children. The school is one of many decimated during the war. It needs rebuilt and basic school supplies and a playground facility with better salaries to retain underpaid teachers. The Active Christian Evangelism (ACE) Group, lead by Dr Graham Fry, is funding the project; more funds are needed. Other areas in needs are feeding programmes, health promotion programmes and support of a new maternity hospital. Find out more about the Countries we help...
