Over the last few days myself along with several other Yew Tree members put aside some of our time this weekend to help out as stage hands and crew for the Wakefield Theatre Royal production of Peter Pan, which was adapted and directed by our very own Sarah Osborne…And it was a very enjoyable and lovely experience to have been a part of…

At first, being one of the oldest and not knowing many people was daunting. But after just a few rehearsals, I settled in, and that’s when we really began to bond—not just as a cast on stage, but as friends off it too. I loved diving into new and unfamiliar s...
