Doreen Tipton launches online pantomime to raise funds for Acorns Children's Hospice

Described as the 'safest story ever told', tickets for Doreen's Cinderella can be purchased online now.

All profits raised from the half hour show will go towards Acorns Children's Hospice, which supports families across the Black Country.

Doreen plays every character in the virtual performance, including Cinderella, Baron Hardup and Buttons.

She said: "It has been a very tough year for the panto industry, so the idea of me doing an online pantomime made a lot of sense.

“I wanted to make people loff with a slightly different take on the traditional story, but the icing on the cake was to dedicate the whole project to a great cause and raise some much-needed funds for the local children’s hospice."

Zoe Baggott, Acorns fundraising manager, added: "We’re so grateful to Doreen for coming up with such a fun, fabulous idea to help spread some magic at the end of the year.

“What better way to enjoy the fun and games, all from the comfort of your own home. The money raised will really make a difference to local children and their families.”

Tickets for Doreen's pantomime cost £4 and anyone signing up can watch it as often as they like. The performance is also available free to members of Doreen's own video platform, Nafflix.
