Please don't close down the Harlequin

Once again I would like to sing the praises of the East Surrey Operatic Society, after seeing their brilliant production of "Kiss Me, Kate" by Cole Porter.

My daughter and I believe they get better and better every time we see their shows at the Harlequin.

The music, acting and costumes as ever were fanastic.

The singing, dancing and comedy were so good.

It is such a pleasure to be able to be taken to a world of music and laughter in a local theatre, and to be able to enjoy the facilities there.

Many people wouldn't be able to enjoy such entertainment if the Harlequin theatre is closed.

It is one asset that we would not like to lose. It has a variety of entertainment to appeal to everyone.

There is such a wealth of talent in the area which will be affected if this is lost. Where will all the local societies be able to put on their wonderful shows? We appeal to the Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, please don't close the Harlequin.
