Heartfelt Productions
Heartfelt Productions started as an idea from Paul Sweeney (Chair of The Commemoration Hall Charity) to create an ‘in-house’ theatre group that provides ‘heartfelt’ performances, at first Pantomimes, to fill the gap in Huntingdon’s theatre scene and provide further opportunities for local creatives.
All of the profits from Heartfelt Productions act as fundraisers for The Commemoration Hall Charity (registered 302645). Supporting the venue to remain open, accessible and thrive
with arts and entertainment in Huntingdon.

Bringing in Sandra Birnie and Tracy Shorter as Director and Musical Director, the trio quickly set about producing their first show together; 2023's ‘Cinderella - An Almost Traditional Pantomime’. And with that Heartfelt Productions was born!
The group set out to provide entertainment and inspire our community onto the stage. With our now adopted theme song ‘Reach’ by S Club speaking loudly that we ‘reach for the stars’ with every production. It pops up a lot in our shows...

2025 saw Heartfelt branch out with the first of their ‘straight plays’ with Agatha Christie’s ‘And Then There Were None’ to rave reviews. In the three years since its inception Heartfelt shows have drawn total audiences of over 6,000 people!
The group has now grown further, bringing in new members and expanding from one show per year to three in 2026 with ‘My Sister in this House’ (Sept 2026)
and ‘Sleeping Beauty’ (Dec 2026) still to come!
What does 2027 hold? Like all good mysteries... all will be revealed!
