Youngsters at Winscombe Youth Theatre are busy rehearsing for their new production of Disney's Aladdin.

The youth theatre has been running for nearly 20 years and provides training for students aged four to 18 years old in drama, singing and dance.

Classes are held on Saturdays and Thursdays and students are taught by a team of teachers who prepare them for the annual shows.

Their next show of Aladdin will take place at Churchill Community School, at 6.30pm on Friday, June 26 and noon and 3.30pm on Saturday, June 27.

Director Theresa Hemming said: "Let the cast of 50 youngsters aged five to 13 years old transport you to a magical world. Come with us to Agrabah, city of enchantment in ancient Arabia and meet Aladdin, the beautiful Princess Jasmine, the amazing Genie and the evil Jafar and his parrot. It is a must for all the family.

"The students of the youth theatre have just achieved outstanding success in LAMDA acting examinations and the Weston Arts Festival."

Tickets are £8 for adults and £5 for children and available from Churchill Community School on 01934 852771 and Cleopatra's Wardrobe in Winscombe on 01934 843193.
