YOUNGSTERS have been putting the final touches to preparations for their Christmas show.

Members of Cleveland Theatre School in Billingham, Teesside, will this year perform Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, based on the classic book by Roald Dahl.

Members of the group have made all the costumes and the scenery themselves and have sold more than 3,000 tickets for the performances so far.

There are, however, still tickets left for evening performances on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday next week, starting at 7pm each night.

There are also some tickets available for the matinee performance on Saturday, December 18, at 1.15pm.

Performances will take place at the ICI Synthonia Club, Belasis Avenue, and tickets, priced at £6.75, are available by contacting the box office on (01642) 363334.
