Greenways Court Choir: An Aspiration Fulfilled

Greenways Court Choir: An Aspiration Fulfilled

At Greenways Court, we believe in helping our residents fulfil their dreams, no matter their age. When John Carlin, one of our residents, mentioned his lifelong wish for singing lessons, we set out to make it happen. Our search led us to Marie, the talented owner of Timeless Theatre Academy, and her assistant Abby, who began visiting our home regularly to teach our residents.

What started as a simple wish quickly grew into something special. With each lesson, the residents’ confidence soared, and soon Marie suggested they were ready for a show. Excited by the idea, we welcomed young performers from Marie’s Academy to join us. The collaboration was magical, bringing a vibrant energy to the performance.

Residents eagerly chose their songs, and the buzz around the choir grew. Even family members joined in on the excitement, attending lessons and showing their support. The day of the show was deeply emotional, highlighted by John’s solo of “You Raise Me Up,” followed by the choir and Academy performers, leaving few dry eyes in the room.

Marie’s ability to inspire and boost confidence has touched our residents’ lives profoundly. We’re now preparing for our Christmas Show, eager to see what new heights we can reach.

A huge thank you to Marie, Abby, and the Timeless Theatre Academy for making this journey so extraordinary. Your dedication has brought joy and a renewed sense of purpose to our residents, and we’re excited for what’s next!
