Today, we honor the legacy of Paul Harris, the founder of Rotary International, born on April 19, 1868. His idea of bringing professionals together to foster goodwill and serve their communities sparked a global movement—one that continues to transform lives over a century later. 🌎✨

Today, on World Theatre Day, we honour the transformative power of theatre and its ability to bring stories to life, unite communities, and spark imagination. 🌟✨
Theatre enriches our lives in so many ways:
🌈 Creativity: It inspires artistic expression and fuels the imagination.
🤝 Connection: Theatre creates a shared space where people come together to experience powerful moments.
💡 Education: From historical stories to modern dramas, theatre challenges perspectives and teaches us about the world.

Here in Wolverhampton, we’re proud to have the iconic Grand Theatre at the heart of our city.
