We are proud to see that Lynn Walter, Assistant Head of Housing in the south for Affinity Sutton put her acting skills to the test recently! Lynn joined the Chichester Festival Youth Theatre for the first read through of The Firework Maker's Daughter, which will be performed in the grounds of the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum from 30^th July to 12^th August. Lynn commented  "I loved joining in the first read through of The Firework Maker's Daughter, but would like to reassure the cast I have decided not to give up my day job!  The actors, musicians, puppeteers, technical and creative teams are preparing a truly spectacular piece of summertime theatre; this is a great start to Graylingwell Park's sponsorship and I'm looking forward to seeing some of the other productions that our sponsorship will help."

During her visit, Lynn learned all about the design of the production, which includes some wonderful puppets whose youthful operators will be trained by the internationally renowned puppeteer Toby Ollie.  Lynn also had the chance to try out her acting skills under the watchful eye of Dale Rooks, Youth Theatre Director.
