STUDENTS at a Woosehill theatre school returned to the stage last month as they fundraiser for their place at Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Almost 250 pupils at Platform YP performed five shows at The Whitty Theatre on Saturday, January 29, and Sunday, January 30.
These included Bonnie and Clyde, Singing in the Rain, Bugsy Malone and two shows with different casts performing James and The Giant Peach.
For many of the younger students, this was their first time on the stage.
Delivering the shows to an audience of almost 900, the interval refreshments raised £704 for the group’s Fringe fundraiser.The school is now £2,400 away from its £6,500 target, which will be used to get its team to Scotland this summer.
They will spend seven days performing Madagascar JR, based on the DreamWorks film series.
School founder Tracey Eley said that she is so proud of her students.
“We have started rehearsing for our Fringe show and it already looks and sounds amazing,” she added.
