ABOUT 120 youngsters and adults are putting on a charity variety show this week.
While they perform West End hits, pop anthems and acrobatics, Hartlepool and District Hospice will be centre stage in everyone's minds.
The Val Armstrong School of Performing Arts is putting on the From the Top show at Hartlepool Town Hall Theatre to raise as much money as it can for the hospice.
The youngest performer taking part is two, while many are in their teens. A replica Chitty Chitty Bang Bang motor car has been built for the show by one of the parents.
Ms Armstrong said: "It is a variety show with something for everyone to suit all tastes."
The show started last night and runs until Saturday. Performances are at 7pm, with a matinee at 2pm on Saturday. Tickets are £6, and £5 for concessions, available on (01429) 890000.
