AN amateur dramatics group for youngsters is treading the boards for the first time this month with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

The Park-Kids Players was set up in the Parkfield area of Stockton by the Write to Read Project.

With more than 30 young members and at least ten adults getting involved, the group is now ready to stage its first show.

The panto, re-worked by Jan McBride, will be staged on Wednesday, December 18, and Thursday, December 19, at 7.30pm, at Lightfoot Grove Church, off Bowesfield Lane, Stockton.

Tickets are available by calling Marion Wilson on (01642) 731985 or at the door.

Tickets are £1 for adults and 50p for children, with proceeds going to the Kids Klub and Friends of Parkfield.
