Last year, the Rotary Club of Seaford received a request for funding from the Seaford Musical Theatre, which is based at the Barn Theatre, to start a new section for youngsters in Seaford. The Club was happy to oblige with a donation of £250, and the SMT Juniors project got started.

This summer, the Club received a further request from Paula Woolven on behalf of the Seaford Musical Theatre Juniors. Numbers have doubled to 30 and the minimal cost ensures that the Theatre opportunity is available to all.
