PUPILS at Haughton Comprehensive School, in Darlington, staged an ambitious performance after working with Theatre Cap-a-Pie for a week.
The year nine students worked with actors, dancers and designers on the company's new production, The Pearl, based on a John Steinbeck's novel. They have learnt the key elements involved in creating a production, from performing music and acting to scrip writing and scenery design.
Cap-a-Pie plan to hold drama workshops at schools and community groups throughout the autumn, supported by the Northern Arts' Regional Lottery Programme.
Theatre Cap-a-Pie is based in Lanchester, and its team of professional artists has produced more than 50 plays with groups of young people over the past six years.
