Beloved actress and TV personality Denise Welch will host a star-studded line-up of performers this festive season in We Need A Little Christmas, an exciting online Christmas variety concert. Filmed live at The Actors’ Church in London’s Covent Garden, with performances from Dame Maureen Lipman, Simon Callow, Kevin Clifton, Lee Mead, Jodie Prenger and more, the streamed concert will be raising money for Shelter and Crisis at Christmas. The performance will be available to view via Steam.Theatre from Sunday 20th December until Friday 1st January 2021.

Directed and staged by Michael Strassen (Godspell 50th Anniversary concert; Billy; Assassins), We Need A Little Christmas is the festive tonic needed in a season of Tiers. Bringing joy and goodwill to homes this Christmas, the production seeks to shine brightly as the chaos of an unpredictable year draws to a close.
Producers Thomas Hopkins and Michael Quinn for Ginger Quiff Media comment, We are so excited to continue our growth as a new company formed in 2020. We are delighted to have raised, to date, over £40,000 for multiple charities through our productions this year. This show not only allows us to raise money once again for two charities greatly in need of direct support, but also will allow us to create a show that gives us the opportunity to employ freelancers and to create what we hope will be a very magical event this festive season, both on stream.theatre and Broadway On Demand.
We Need A Little Christmas will run on Stream.Theatre from Sunday 20th December to Friday 1st January 2021.
